Faith and Works FAQ

Question:

Why don't you teach what the Bible teaches, namely that we are saved by faith alone?

Answer:

Many passages indicate that faith plays a crucial, pivotal and vital role in being saved. However, no passage in the Bible says we are saved by faith ALONE or by faith ONLY. If you know of the passage that says this please send it! If you do careful research you will find only one verse of scripture uses the expression "faith only" and that is James 2:24 : "you see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only." That passage clearly teaches we are not saved (justified) by faith only!
