6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know[2] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." 8Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." 9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, that is Christianity, nothing more, nothing less. Accept Him as your Savior, accept the free gift of salvation, not works or deeds, only Faith in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.

>>Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, that is Christianity, nothing more, nothing less.

Christianity is more that that. What you describe is the *beginning* of faith, not Christianity as a whole.

>>accept the free gift of salvation,

No argument there.

>>only Faith in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.

First of all, "only" is not in the bible -- Unless you use Luthor's translation where he explicitly adds the word "alone" to the passage of salvation by faith. Although most editions of protestant NT do not contain "alone" it is still added when the salvation doctrine is taught.

Another note, that it is works of the Law, not WOrks of charity, which are condemned. When passages refer to works not being able to save one, they refer to works of the law or works without faith. That last judgement refutes a faith alone salvation. (in the context of having a chance -- the thief on the cross couldn't do any works. But you and I who have a chance, that's a different story).

Finally, salvation by faith alone is not scriptural. Unless you don't consider the book of James to be scripture.
