....it's not exhaustive in every detail about salvation, and yet all that is necessary is found in it?

What's the problem with that?

We don't know every detail of the pain and suffering that Jesus endured while dying for us.

We don't know the detail of what happened those three days in the grave.

We don't know the detail of how Christ was raised from the dead.

We couldn't understand the detail of most of what related to how God worked salvation, but we know that He did and what it takes for us to appropriate it.

So you agree with

The Bible is not exhaustive in every detail. John 21:25 speaks to the fact that there are many things that Jesus said and did that are not recorded in John, or in fact in any book in the world because the whole books of the world could not contain it. But the Bible does not have to be exhaustive to function as the sole rule of faith for the Church.

And yet you say that

All that is necessary for that blessed assurance is found in the Bible

it's not exhaustive in every detail about salvation, and yet all that is necessary is found in it?

And you also say that any Church teachings that do not contradict scripture which is "not exhaustive in every detail" is ok? It's not a gotcha -- it's simple logic if you agree to the first and second, you have to state the third.
