Well faith in Jesus Christ is the first principle of gospel — see Article of Faith 4
“We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost”

Well norm, at least more of the truth is coming out. Again, it isn't by faith ALONE is it norm. And AoF 3 indicates that there are a LOT more ordinances and laws that must be obeyed BEFORE salvation.

So, is it really honest to say that it is faith ALONE norm?

Like we have said, actions spring from faith. We are commanded to repent — if we don’t repent and bring forth good works, we show that we don’t have the faith that God requires of His disciples.

Faith without works is dead, being alone.
