Parts 2 and 3 to follow. . .
The purpose of this OP is to test what Protestants actually believe about their own 'tradition'.
Catholics hold to both 'scripture and tradition' as authoritative in matters of doctrine. Can the same be said about Protestants? That is, are Protestant doctrines derived from both 'their tradition and scripture' despite claims to the contrary?
Finally, if the above is true to any degree why don't Protestants admit it?
