“Not sorry, thankful, salvation is through faith alone.”

No, salvation is through grace alone.

Grace comes with faith. Not kissing the bishops ring.

justified by faith alone , not works

saved by grace alone, not earned

for determining our Christian beliefs and any disputes about our faith, it’s the bible alone, above man’s traditions or separate writings

“Not sorry, thankful, salvation is through faith alone.” No, salvation is through grace alone.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. (Ephesians 2:8)

Good. Then the *church* isn't needed.

You're getting there.

>> No, salvation is through grace alone.<<

Rom. 3:28-30, "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one."

Rom. 4:5, "But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness,"

Rom. 5:1, "therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,"

Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

Gal. 2:16, "nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified."

Phil. 3:9, "and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith."

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

It’s by God’s grace that we are given the faith that saves. It is through that faith that we are saved.
