If one claims that the Bible alone is the rule of faith, then the Bible itself should contain an assertion that it is itself the rule of faith.

This is similar to the Unitarian argument that Trinitarianism is false doctrine because the bible never uses the word Trinitarian.(The bible never uses the word Unitarian either.)

The Bible also doesn’t contain the word “Bible”. Oops!

It differs in that one can argue for the Trinity without limiting the scope of one's arguments by stating that only explicit Scriptural assertions have authority.

The distinct nature of the sola Scriptura argument is that only things which are explicit in or directly inferred from explicit statements in the Bible have authority.
