Agreed. But the point was originally started as an example of a part of our mission here on earth that was defined primarily after the closing of Scripture (in the case of the RCC, because the authority of the church claimed that it was so). It would show that Scripture was suffiecient for our salvation, but not necessarily complete within itself for all Christian needs - and thus a Church which can speak with authority is something that Christ had reason to institute. We agree on the belief. Now we need to determine whether it was the Holy Spirit still at work in the growth of His Church, or an idea that is contained in Scripture.
