For all of you protestant Christians out there, if the Scriptures are sufficient and contain all that a person needs to know God and walk after the example of Christ, why can't any of you agree on anything? If your interpretation of Scripture is guided by the Holy Spirit, then does the Holy Spirit not know Himself since you claim that the Holy Spirit is God? I know protestant Churches that believe in the sacramental view of baptism, communion, marriage, and still others that say it is all just a symbol. IIf this is not important, why did Christ and the apostles put so much emphasis on these 'unimportant' things? If your God is personal and can be known personally, then how calm no one can agree as to whether He double predestines people, whether He gives true free will, whether He judges people based on faith alone or on faith and works both, or just works, or just Grace? Some can't even agree that God is Trinity! If you knew Him personally, wouldn't you know His personality?
