Hi. I'm a former Catholic and now non-denominational follower of Christ

So Bible alonism was breaking from the Apostles interpretation of Scripture to human interpretation of scripture, and human founded churches.

John Smyth after leaving the Church of England decided that credo Baptism was to be his new doctrine, so pure human interpretation, pure human tradition.n

John Smyth was not an Apostle, he was a false teacher the Apostles warned about.
The New Testament documents on the tenet they are genuine are first century Holy Scripture would be our sole Apostolic authority handed down to us.

Now it wasn't a Catholic Church that won me to believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. But but persons from a local Baptist church at my families door inviting us to attend their church. Offered a ride to church. And it was that Sunday between Sunday school and the morning preaching service I was shown how I could be sure of Heaven. That was the summer of 1962. I knew then and know now. Do you?

The New Testament documents are genuine first century, but your interpretations of them isn’t, they are 1500s onward human interpretations.

Have the first century Scriptures and the first century interpretations of them and you will be fine.

Which would you prefer, the Apostles interpretation and understanding of Scripture or your own?

Luke 4:4, And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Now you didn't answer my question.
. . . I was shown how I could be sure of Heaven. That was the summer of 1962. I knew then and know now. Do you?

Basically, from your point of view, we have our own understanding of Scripture, but in the same sense, you have your own understanding of the apostle’s interpretation of Scripture. If Scripture is the goal, and it should be, then it is more direct to follow the first pattern instead of a copy of a copy of a copy of a pattern. Your understanding of Scripture is influenced by your indoctrination of faulty assumptions so that when people are told that they are more noble for searching Scripture, you think it means that they took oral tradition and didn’t search Scripture. Your application of the language is way off.
