The Doctrine of Salvation by Faith Alone

Several religious groups believe and teach that one is saved by faith alone without any other conditions.

• Some would consistently believe “faith only”• Others say “faith only” but still believe repentance is essential.

"Wherefore, that we are justified by faith, only, is a most wholesome doctrine and very full of comfort" –

The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, 1972 Edition, p. 55.

Those Who Believe This Contend:

Passages that say one is saved by faithmeans faith alone (i.e. Rom. 5:1)

If one is not saved by faith alone – thensalvation is by works (i.e. Eph. 2:8-9)

I. Bible Says It Not By Faith Only

James 2:24You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

James 2:17Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works,

is dead.

James 2:26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith

without works is dead also.

11 Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.
