Sola Scriptura was one of the cardinal doctrines of the Protestant Reformation. Norman Geiser rejects reformed theology, so he is hardly the best advocate for Sola Scriptura. Regardless, I’d trust his views over the silly misunderstandings and intentional mischaracterizations of papists.

I am scared for those who place their eternal soul in the traditions and opinions of pedophile priests, blowhard bishops, crooked cardinals, and pompous pontiffs. I reject popery in all forms. Scripture, and Scripture alone, is my final authority.

Scripture, and Scripture alone, is my final authority.

Then why aren't you a muslim or a mormon?

Scripture, and Scripture alone, is my final authority.

So then what is your stand on

1. something as basic as Jesus was always God (Trinitarian position) or that Jesus Christ was man made God (Oneness PENTECOSTAL Protestant position) or the Angel Michael (Seventh Day Adventist Ellen G White teaching) -- all three use scripture alone to justify their points of view and have three diverge in their points of view
2. he REAL Presence of Christ in the Eucharist (Lutheran, some Anglicans, maybe even Methodists), or is it just a symbol (as your post said)?
3. talking in tongues -- does one HAVE to talk in tongues (Oneness Pentecostal) to display faith or not?
4. and the episcopate (bishops etc.) -- some who have scripture alone have it, some don't
5. Do you read in scripture alone whether Baptism is for infants and sufficient (Presbyterian etc.) or not (Baptists)?
6. God pre-damns people to hell (Calvinism) or not (others)
7. Jesus came only for the salvation of a few (Calvinists) or he was Savior of the world (everyone else)?
8. agree or disagree with soul sleep?
9. worshipping on a Sunday (Presbyterians, Pentecostals etc.) or not (Seventh Day Adventists)
10. agree with the Adventists that one should follow kosher laws or not?
11. and spiritual gifts like prophecy amongst us (Pentecostals) or not (Presbyterians)
12. "slain in the spirit" (Pentecostalism) or not (Presbyterianism, Lutheranism etc)
13. Regeneration comes through Baptism (Lutheranism) or not (Baptists)
14. do you read that grace can be resisted (Pentecostalism, Lutheranism, Methodism) or not (Calvinism)
15. is baptism is three-fold (Mennonites) or not?
16. imputed righteousness (Calvinism) or not (Mennonites)

NOTE: Scriptura is inerrant, but due to varying interpretations, there are the views above. In contrast there is the interpretation that Christ taught to His disciples after His resurrection, handed down through the Apostles to their disciples and their disciples disciples to be in the true way, prawo sławny, the truth as handed down.

Deviation to come up with one's own interpretation leads down the path to Unitarianism. That is why Luther, Zwingli and Calvin met to form their own council to prevent the re-reformers and the re-re-re-reformers as they saw that with the cat out of the bag and the way different men read into scripture, there are errors

That is why Lutheranis, Calvinism, Anglicanism hold to the scriptural interpretation encapsulated in Nicene Creed, knowing that that is a basic fundamental differentiator between those of the faith and those who interpret away to oblivion.
