>>Where did Jesus give instructions that the Christian faith should be based exclusively on a book?<<

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8-9

Please show us another source for what the apostles taught. If you can’t, we are left with what we know they wrote.

>>Other than the specific command to John to pen the Revelation, where did Jesus tell His apostles to write anything down and compile it into an authoritative book?<<

Do a search on how many times Jesus said “it is written”. Think that may be a hint?

>>Where in the New Testament do the apostles tell future generations that the Christian faith will be based solely on a book?<<

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Maybe a hint we should do the same?

>> Where is the concept of ‘Trinity” explained?<<

Where did the Catholic Church come up with it from?

>> Where is the concept of ‘Sola Scriptura’ explained?<<

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8-9<<

Once again, please find another inspired source for what the apostles taught.

In NT Greek “Gospel” literally translates to “Good News.”
Nothing there about a bible, or even a book. If you want to hold to erroneous thoughts about Ekklesia than you need to be consistent at least with “Gospel”.

Excellent rebuttal! Confusing them with the facts.
