Then there is a limitation placed on all the books with this understanding.
Again, catholics are cherry-picking verses to prove their point without taking Scripture into context.
The point of the verses in John 20:30-31 is to say that not everything Jesus did was written down, but what was written down was done so that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God; and that believing you may have life in His name.
Once again, a clear reading of the Bible is sufficient to learn the meaning of the text.
This can only work on Catholics...People who read and believe the bible won't be fooled by this nonsense...
Absolutely everything a person needs to know about how to become saved is written in the books of John...There is nothing outside of scripture that can or will contribute one iota to the knowledge on how to become a born again Christian...
Scripture alone is ALL we need to become Christians...
Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
1Jn_5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
1Jn 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
1Jn 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1Jn 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
1Jn 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
And THAT proves Sola Scripture...Scripture alone...
