[.. If the Church does not enforce scriptural and doctrinal purity, then we are going to wind up with thousands of differing churches, each proclaiming a gospel often in opposition to another. ..]

Thats Exactly what makes one a Protestant..
Protesting against scriptural heresy and cultism.. i.e. RCC
AND WHY Sola Scriptura is important.. You know... guarding against CULTS..

Unfortunately Protestant cults and so-called Orthox cults abound..
Cults are self sorting Sheep Pens(John ch10)..
Absolute genius on Gods part.. I would say...

For.... those that follow Jesus voice are the FREE Sheep..

I think that our conversation should remain quiescent for some time.

There are tons of cults out there based on Sola Scriptura — i.e. each man’s interpretation of the Bible. E.g. the Reverent Moon, Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc.
