====conclusion: the analysis of the argument is supported ''sola scriptura''====

:Your analysis of the argument is a fairly accurate summary, with some minor provisions added for clarification. Every point set out as the essential argument in the analysis is found in the Bible <br> (a) Scripture is authoritative when properly interpreted but insufficient of itself alone <br> (b) Salvation is dependent on being united to Jesus Christ and abiding in the one body of his Church as a member of his body <br> (c) Baptism unites the baptized to the body of Christ as a member, but without good works as the sustaining fruit of salvation the member bears no fruit and is lost (cast forth), and the sacrificial death of Jesus is insufficient to cleanse one of unrepented sins and of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

:The Bible supports all of these points of the analysis. What remains is the question of whether or not to accept the analysis ''sola scriptura'', based on all of the scriptural support for it cited here. Use the principle of "Scripture interprets scripture" without disregarding any part of scripture cited here in support of the three points of analysis. <br> Jesus said to the lawyer (to an expert in the Law of Moses), "What is written in the law? How do you read it?" Lk 10:25-28 <br> He also said, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me; if any man's will is to do his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own authority." Jn 7:16-17 <br>"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." Mt 7:7-8 <br> "Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy. Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to '''repay every one for what he has done'''. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Blessed are those who '''wash their robes''', that they may have the '''right to the tree of life''' and that they may '''enter the city by the gates'''."
