How is one saved?
What are your arguments for "by faith alone"? And, perhaps more importantly, what do you mean by faith?
"You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone" (James 2.24, NASB). And "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law" (Romans 3.28, NASB). Paul and James seem to disagree sharply, though they do not. Together, then, what are they saying? The danger of "faith alone" is that we can believe that faith is simple intellectual assent. But faith as intellectual assent does not save, does it?
Also, what does Paul mean by "works of the Law"? Is he simply stating that works do not save, or is he saying something else entirely?
What do the Scriptures teach?
