Let me turn the discussion in a slightly different and more personal way for me. I don't have strong convictions on this but would like to hear your thoughts.
If I don't believe in sola scriptura, I guess that means I believe there are other authorities for the Christian life, church tradition being one of them. Maybe others as well including reason, Christian experience, etc.
If I don't believe in sola scriptura, or more precisely if I believe that church tradition is in some way authoritative, do you think I have an obligation to stop being a Protestant? Should I join the Catholic or Orthodox church instead? Or does church tradition (as an authority) flow through to Protestant churches on the basis of shared doctrinal convictions?
Or how should I think about that?
