Romans 5:2
Romans 11:6
Ephesians 2:8
Note: none of them say saved by grace through faith and church, faith and alms, faith and good works, etc. Nope, faith alone.
6And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Note: none of them say saved by grace through faith and church, faith and alms, faith and good works, etc. Nope, faith alone.
Actually exactly none of them say "faith alone." No one doubts that faith is a requirement, that it allows us access to grace. That is what the Bible teaches, not "faith alone."
The only pairing in the KJV of the words "faith" and "alone" is in the James verse I posted above. Faith alone is dead.
I'm sure someone convinced you that the Bible gives the appearance of teaching faith alone, but that is an accident.
