"The scripture tells us that ALL revelation pertaining to man's salvation is contained within the scriptures."

Can you show me a verse or group of verses that can defend your statement?

They are the familiar verses that you guys apparently chose not to believe...

Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

If you hear His word and believe on Him, you have eternal life...RIGHT NOW...Not when you hear some future revelation down the road...

Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Jesus is not talking some future revelation to your church...

1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

What John preached to people was all the knowledge that was needed to receive salvation and eternal life...And when they believed, they had eternal life...Right then...NOT when some future revelation came along...

2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Scripture is given for doctrine and instruction in righteousness...You are suggesting it is not...You are claiming there was more revelation that was required at a later time that would add to the doctrine...You are claiming that righteousness could not be obtained until a future revelation was revealed to your church...

But yet the verse says the scripture was profitable for reproof and correction...And the scripture was so profitable that it would prove itself and correct the sinner unto perfection and thoroughly furnish a sinner unto all good works...

2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Now what future revelation could add to that??? Those first Christians had all the information they needed...
