You mean like Sola Scriptura? :esurprised: (okay, okay, I'll behave).
The only "problem" with "sola scriptura" is that what we really are saying is "sola interpretartae"
IE: My/Our interpretation of scripture and no one elses.
A quick view through the history of Christian doctrines shows us that the trinity debate was never that "easy" and that it didn't end in the 4th century.

I think the issues was/is more the language than anything else, it was perhaps too "hellenistic".
Of course under the context what else could it have been?
But I often wonder IF we were to formalize the Doctrine of the nature of Father, Son and HS, how would WE term it and what words would we use?
