2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

Now is probably a bad time to point out that this verse contradicts any notion of "faith alone." :-)

I am of the opinion that there is no such thing as ... 'faith alone'.

True faith is always a motivator to works, ... including the work of love.

All true believers manifest their faith.

I'm not sure who this puts me in doctrinal contention with.
