"You've gone ahead and said it. Now SHOW that Phil actually USED any tradition in talking with the eunuch."

Elsie: That's like saying, "Show that Phil actually used oral communication in talking with the eunuch."

What Philip said was "Tradition" by definition. He was an Apostle. He preached. Oral preaching by an Apostle is exactly what is meant by Apostolic Tradition.

If everything he said on that occasion were written down, it would be Written Tradition. I.e. Scripture.

Who gets to define?

The bible records NOTHING that Philip said!

Oral preaching by an Apostle is exactly what is meant by Apostolic Tradition.

Romans 15:4
 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
 
Romans 16:17
   I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.
 
1 Corinthians 4:17
   For this reason I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.
 
1 Corinthians 11:2
 2.  I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings,  just as I passed them on to you.
 
2 Thessalonians 2:15
   So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings  we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
 
2 Thessalonians 3:6
  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching  you received from us.
 
Ephesians 4:14-15
 14.  Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
 15.  Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
 
Stick to the words recorded, and you'll get no argument from me.
Add other stuff and I'll be on you like... well; you know.
