I know of no denomination that actually follows the precept of Sola Scriptura. For example, most Christians who are affiliated with communities that have come into being since the 16th century would say that justification by faith alone is a critical doctrine--perhaps the critical doctrine, and reading of the Bible must start from that proposition. However, Scripture never actually says that we are justified by faith alone.

Perhaps that is because you have never read the NT ?

Jhn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Jhn 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Jhn 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Jhn 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Jhn 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

Jhn 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.

Jhn 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

Jhn 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Act 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses

Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Faith and belief are the flip sides of the same coin

Jesus taught Salvation by Faith not works. He said our works are the fruit of our salvation

Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. What is the will of the Father?

Scripture says this is His will for men

Jhn 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

So the hypothesis of justification by faith alone was a theological innovation of the 16th century that is not contained in Scripture, but many who hold to that belief insist that it holds equal standing with Scripture as a point of belief.

Translations prior to Luther used the terminology of faith alone with respect to Romans 3:28. The Nuremberg Bible of 1483 had "allein durch den glauben," while the Italian Bibles of Geneva in 1476 and even 1538 had "per sola fide."

From my perspective, asserting that one follows the Bible alone is not an accurate description of how one actually operates.

Perhaps you do not understand what sola scriptura mean ? Ya think? :)

" Scripture never actually says that we are justified by faith alone."

"Perhaps that is because you have never read the NT ?"

That sounds a bit caustic, RnMomof7. Feel free to show me the quote in the New Testament, or Old, which says that I am justified by faith alone. You haven't done that. You've quoted a dozen and a half Scriptures, none of which say man is justified by faith alone.

"Faith and belief are the flip sides of the same coin"

Well, I can agree with you that they are closely related to each other. I would say that Obedience to God is the flip side of the coin to faith and belief. Does that sound reasonable to you?

"Jesus taught Salvation by Faith not works."

He did?? Can you show me where He says I'm saved by Faith and not works? This sounds a bit out of context to me.

"He (Jesus) said our works are the fruit of our salvation"

No he didn't. He said that we would be cut off from Him if we fail to produce good fruits.

"Translations prior to Luther used the terminology of faith alone with respect to Romans 3:28. The Nuremberg Bible of 1483 had "allein durch den glauben," while the Italian Bibles of Geneva in 1476 and even 1538 had "per sola fide."

Excuse me, RNMomof7, but it appears you plagiarized that statement. Would you like to cite your source so we can verify that statement? Apparently, if it was good enough to claim as your own without citing or putting in quotations marks, you believe it to be true. So then, you accept that Catholics were publishing the Bible in the Vernacular prior to Luther?

"Perhaps you do not understand what sola scriptura mean ? Ya think? :)"

Sure RnMomof7, that's entirely possible that I, misunderstand it. I've already offered my view on it, and asked how you define the term yourself. Feel free to comment on my definition or put down your own.
