[4] 1PE 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. ACT 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. ROM 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also. LUK 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. ROM 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Sometimes the Roman roots the Reformed Churches is obvious. I don't see any reference to Sacraments increasing ones faith as footnoted in #4. I do see turning to God in prayer.
I would agree. I believe it is the word of God that increases one's faith and that is it alone. The sacraments are a outward demonstration of our faith.
BTW-We have been having personal testimonies at church. Testimony after testimony people will say, "This particular scripture talked to me and convicted me..." I thought if we actually understood the power of the scriptures, we would be spending time in sermons talking about current events.
