Perhaps a more comprehensive knowledge of church history might be to your advantage. Luther, for example, didn't go it alone. What Luther "discovered" wasn't new at all. Many before him had embraced sola fide long before he came along. And even more importantly, Luther simply embraced the "faith once delivered unto the saints" which is found in Scripture. The Reformers likewise didn't invent what we know as the Reformed Faith. Augustine in the 4th century was of the same mind. And each and every doctrine which the Church has embraced and written in its historical documents was scrutinized carefully regardless of who brought it forward. So again I say, NO ONE goes it alone. Thus my personal beliefs are not "unique", i.e., I do not hold to views which are "new" but those which have undergone great scrutiny and have been tested over time. I stand with the Church which it too deemed the truth of God's infallible and inerrant Word. Keith Mathison wrote with much wisdom concerning A Critique of the Evangelical Doctrine of "Solo" Scriptura.

How sad you continue to take an arrogant stand stating that YOU have "understanding" and all others are lacking in such. How strange it is that no one else has had or even now has such unique understanding. If it was so plain, as you are want to believe, then why is it that you alone are able to grasp it? How is it possible that millions of others are blind to that which is so plain in your eyes? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

FYI, my position of paedobaptism does not hinge upon your "insight". <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" />
