How come it is that those who claim to be the proper interpreter of God's word almost always ignore the influence of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Church for the previous 2000 years?

Doctrine as taught by the Church is a summary of what the Bible teaches, as are the Creeds and Confessions. To ignore them is to ignore what the Church has historically believed to be true teaching of the Bible. Your dismissing of even reading the doctrine of "Sola Fide" is to ignore what men much smarter than you have believed to be the correct interpretation of Scripture. It is also to ignore what the Holy Spirit has taught the Church in the last 2000 years.

I would suggest that, since you are unable to even tell us what the doctrine of "Sola Fide" is, you at least study so that you don't keep making claims about it that are wrong.

Colin.

Am I correct in saying that baptism is relegated to a post-salvation act in the doctrine of "Sola Fide"?

Your pretty good at giving suggestions: Your previous post had one and now this one too:

I suggest that you...

I would suggest that, since you are unable to even tell us what the doctrine of "Sola Fide" is, you

Instead of coming across as arogant and preachy, if you know it so well then put it in your own words for discussion. Any "true" Protestant would know that.

Any "true" Protestant would attempt to help others learn...
