Paul preached faith alone because salvation was all of grace (Rom.11:6) and works could not be involved since works and grace do not mix.(Rom.4:3-5).

It seems that Gentiles are making the same mistake that the Jews did, 'stumbling' over the faith alone issue (Rom.9:30-32)

Yes, that is an excellent point. I fully agree. A works-based salvation is completely dismissed in the NT, and yet here we are 2,000 years later with more than a billion Christians believing in it.
