As a Catholic, I have asked some Bible alone (Sola Scriptura) Christian believers within this forum what are the essentials and non-essentials for a sole rule of faith, and have yet received a definitive answer. I have seen many bible believing Christians argue that it doesn't matter, that there are thousands upon thousands of different denominations/sects because these denominations/sects agree on the "essentials", and as long as there is conformity to these "essentials", the other differences in doctrines are extraneous or secondary.
However, I have found within this forum, if I were to ask one of these bible alone Christians what these "essentials" are, I'd get a slew of different answers. Why is that if these Sola Scripturist are going by the same Bible? So, I'd like to ask, what is the true list of essential and non-essential beliefs for believers of Sola Scriptura, and who or what entity of the Sola Scriptura believers has the authority to make such a list?
Have a Blessed day!
