I think the only clear thing is the echo of the protestant oral tradition. Once one starts teasing-out what is meant by the various unexamined catch-phrases one runs into a numinous rejection of authority anchored to nothing solid one can trace back to Scripture or Tradition.

At least that is all I can see

a numinous rejection of authority anchored to nothing solid

Protestants do reject the authority of men over them. Instead, we praise the authority of Jesus Christ over us, as given to us (and to you) in Scripture, anchored solidly by the Holy Spirit.

No king but Christ.

"And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes." -- Mark 1:22

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -- Acts 4:12
