Interesting statement.   Jude makes a similar statement in Jude 3:
"...to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the 
saints...."

Obviously, the letter of Jude, which some historians believe was 
written between 67AD and 70AD, cannot be part of the Faith because 
Jude states the Faith was once and for all being delivered (past 
tense) to the saints.  The same would be true for any letters written 
after Jude was written, which is many of them, including Revelations.
John 5:37 holds the answer.
