How distinctive are Authority, Sufficiency and Perspicuity wording in explaining Scripture? I mean do we need to understand each in its unique characteristics or do they basically blend together without the need of the distinctions?

They are unique terms which describe essential qualities of the Scriptures. They cannot be 'blended together' for to do so would diminish, distort or even destroy their respective meanings.
