You arbitrarily decided that knowledge of who's saved or not is the prerequisite. This is knowledge only God has because He's the one who judges. You're not only acting as your own popes by doing personal interpretation of Scripture, you're also acting as your own gods by making judgments of who's saved or not. Anyone could claim they are saved, therefore they are saved in reality? That's a non sequitur. What does anyone being sure if he's saved or not have to do with what the true Church is? Where do you get this from?
Refer to my other comment deboonking Sola Scriptura. You're in a contradiction, bro.
Imagine attacking God's word while following after traditions of men who admit they might not be saved. What utter madness! Repent!
Imagine blowing through what I said not answering anything and strawmanning me instead. If you were good faith and cared for the truth you wouldn't act like that. I'm sorry I got you cornered with your bs position.
Please show me where Jesus or any Apostle said you require a pope to read scripture. Also check with the prophets in the OT. Let me know what you find.
Secondly why haven't you addressed a single argument from the pastor in the video?
Jesus said "He that heareth my word and believeth on he that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation" John 5:24
We see the Apostle Paul write "saved" in the past tense. "unto use which are saved, it is the power of God" 1 Corinthians 1:18
And we are to know a "peace which surpasses all understanding" from God. That makes sense in the context of being saved already.
Far from a license to sin, Paul who said we are saved "by grace... through faith" showed complete devotion. If someone else uses a superficial faith in Jesus to justify a worldly life of sin they were never transformed and saved. Simple as that.
All your arguments/questions are answered here:

Your arguments were all taken apart in my previous comments, using clear passages from scripture.
We understand salvation using scripture. We don't require a Pope as you imply (and as Catholics explicitly teach). Shame on you for twisting the gospel.
No you didn't and you don't understand what I'm arguing at all. Scripture didn't magically materialize in your hands - it was compiled and kept by the historic Church that you deny. You can't appeal to Scripture while ignoring how the Bible you use came to be in the first place. Watch the last video about Sola scriptura if you care about what the actual argument is. It has nothing to do with the Pope. Such a ridiculous strawman...
