[Cronos]

There are two immediate considerations. The first is that how does one know that one interprets Scripture correctly? The second is that how does one know that one’s belief is the same belief that Jesus gave to the Apostles

The sola scriptura answer is simple:
1. how do I know I interpreted scripture correctly? Answer: Because that's the gift of the Holy SPirit for anyone and everyone to interpret scripture. Of course, my interpretation is the correct one, though....
2. Well, my sola s belief is the same -- look, let me quote random passages from The Bible. The Church was wrong for 2000 years until I came along.

Let’s compare and contrast e.g. Piper versus Schuller (both Presbyterian), or Hagee versus Graham. It boggles the mind that they all can fit under one umbrella.

Yes. Everyone in his own armchair on Sunday mornings is his own Pope and, given the appropriate quantities of adult beverages, is fully competent to interpret Scripture on his own.

How do you know that's the gift of the Holy Spirit?
