Therefore, since that same Most Holy Spirit works in me today, I can be trusted to interpret those scriptures!

And those who don't interpret the scriptures the same way as you therefore do not have the Most Holy Spirit working in them?

Such would be the logical conclusion if I thought I could interpret scripture infallibly. Protestants have never denied their sin and it's effect on their ability to interpret. We fully recognize our ability to not heed the Holy Spirit but to "go our own way". That is one of the reasons why we state that all are subject to the supreme judge of scripture. Only the scriptures are inerrant and infallible.

Please Note: We protestants do not reject the authority of the church, creeds and councils, our parents, our elders, etc. Rather, we acknowledge the supreme authority of scripture as given by God:

Westminster Confession, Ch 1. Paragraph X: "The Supreme Judge, by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture."
