[Albion Wilde]

Historically, Protestant reformers emphasized faith alone (sola fide) as the means to salvation, meaning that faith in Jesus Christ is sufficient for salvation without the need for good works.

You are forgetting the other "solas"—sola gratia and sola scriptura. We are saved by faith alone, by the grace of God alone, in accordance with the scriptures alone.

God can remove His grace from those who sin against the Spirit, who are false teachers of the gospel, or who are wanton in disobeying His commandments and advice as revealed in the scriptures.

Sola gratia emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, given by His grace alone, and not based on human merit or actions. This principle suggests that God’s grace is unearned and freely given to believers. In the classical Protestant view, sola gratia means that once a person is truly saved by God’s grace, they cannot lose their salvation, even if they sin.

Sola scriptura asserts that the Bible is the ultimate authority in all matters of faith and practice. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.”
