"[Justification by faith alone] is the article upon which the church stands or falls." ~ Martin Luther"

Do you agree with this statement, and if so, why? The Bible nowhere says we are saved by Faith alone, it says we are not saved by faith alone. Given that the Church existed for 15 centuries before the invention of the doctrine of "salvation by faith alone," it's simply not possible for this statement to be true.

"Do you agree with this statement, and if so, why?"

Yes I do believe this statement and that is because it is Biblical. Just because you believe it is not expliticly stated in Scripture does not mean it is not implicit in Scripture. Given that the Roman Catholic Church holds to numerous doctrines which are not explicitly stated in Scripture I do not think your objection carries much weight.

What do you believe we are justified by in addition to our faith?
