QUOTE:"Sola Scriptura does beg a question: what, outside of Scripture, is needed for the salvation of a soul?"

Salvation is not found in sola scriptura, not is it found in anything out side of scripture. Salvation is found in the person, Jesus Christ. When one is born again, they become members of his church. Walking the aisle, being confirmed, signing a card or joining a church are ALL man made rituals!

Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

John 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."

It is sad you are convinced your salvation is in your church membership and your eucharist, because, according to the Bible, you are sorely mistaken!

When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

Acts 2 37-38

“It is sad you are convinced your salvation is in your church membership”

It’s sad that you gleaned that from my post, because I said no such thing.
