Ephesian 2:8

I don't see anywhere there that we are saved by faith ALONE. The English language does not require the word "alone" in that verse. It merely says we are saved by faith without saying that other things are necessary, as well. Elsewhere, Paul DOES say we are saved by many other things besides intellectual belief and trust in God.

Regards

I suggest that you read Ephesians 2:8,9 again... Then explain to me what it is that you don't understand about "not of works, lest any man should boast.."
