"We’re not claiming anything not in scripture is wrong. That’s absurd."

Sola Scriptura? Scripture Alone?

Which by the way, isn't contained in the Bible.

Way to miss the point.

Scripture is sufficient and complete. There is not more waiting to be revealed.
If something contradicts scripture, it is wrong.
If something adheres with scripture, it is right.
If something neither contradicts nor adheres to scripture, it ... just is.

To reject Sola Scriptura is to set the Bible aside, give God with a puzzled look, and say “ok...now what?”

BTW: if you _do_ wish to open things up to the notion of post-scriptural revelation, best you adhere to the enumerated rules for identifying and disposing of false prophets. ...which, methinks, you don’t.

If it runs counter to scripture, it is wrong or the bible is invalid. It is either the infallible word of God, or it isn’t. Anything else is like being slightly pregnant.

If you are talking about something scripture doesn’t reference, like Pentecostals opposition to TV technology, then I’ll listen and decide. But I won’t follow a Pope because the RCC says something has changed and this is now how to believe.
