You said you read the scripture using the scripture and only seeing the scripture, through the lens
of the eternal New Covenant.
SOLA SCRIPTURE that is!
The scripture states the Lord commands you to seek the higher gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 14).
Honestly Rufus; do you seek the higher gifts and do you obey the Lord's commandment?
Easy question to answer.

I'm not surprised you think this way at all since you qualitatively limit Christ's atoning work. In fact, according to how FWers like yourself interpret "world" in Jn 3:16, if you were consistent and carried that distributive sense interpretation over to v. 17, Christ's atoning work is a freaking disaster since God sent his Son into the world to save each and every person in it; yet, the vast majority of the world is hell-bound, as only a remnant is being saved. God utterly failed in his purpose and Christ failed dismally in his mission! When FWT is understood correctly and taken to its logical conclusion, God's plan of salvation is an unmitigated disaster!
Most certainly because that is the church blueprint as Paul declares in 1 Corinthians.
1 Timothy 2:3-5
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
Scripture only!
Where the Reformers failed was they took the Roman Catholic image of the church.
And thought that was how the church functioned so they replaced the Latin speaking priest with a minister.
The church in the first century was not the church the Reformers manufactured.
Thus they became a daughter church of the Roman Catholic tradition.
