Seems like this explanation is too complicated.
Protestants believe the ‘Holy Spirit’ guides them to understand God’s will without the reality check of comparing their feelings to the teachings of generations of wise men.
It’s a kind of arrogant emotionalism seldom penetrable by rational persuasion.
If that were so we wouldn't have Lutheranism, Calvinism, Wesleyanism, etc... When it comes to Protestants, it is hard to paint with a broad brush.
Generally Protestants do not interpret the Bible through the authority of the church fathers, but instead view the teachings of the church fathers through the authority of the Bible.
