"Does my story sound like a reasonable application of Sola Scriptura?"

No. Because you are assuming that both the Church and Mr.C are being guided by the Holy Spirit, and obviously that is not the case here. Is Mr.C attending the Branch Dividians led by David Koresh? Is he speaking with the Mormon church?? Is he a Jehovah's Witness that has seen the light??? Your situation assumes that both are being led by the Holy Spirit, so the outcome is an impossibility, since the Holy Spirit will not contradict Himself. What if Mr C is a mormon and he sees that the Scriptures don't really say what the church is saying?? Is he wrong for disagreeing with the church and seeing the light. If you are saying the church is inspired and the Mr.C are inspired then they wouldn't diagree. Do you see my point???

I never said that. I am not arguing who is truly inspired and who is not. (Obviously it can't be both.) I am asking if Mr C followed the principles of Sola Scriptura. That's all.

Please, please, please forget about any of this. I am not arguing for multiple truths or confusion in the Holy Spirit. Did Mr C follow the principles of Sola Scriptura or not?
