The verse that was not there..

[theefaith]

Accept Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior?

“Faith alone” is not biblical!

three things are eternal faith, hope, and charity and the greatest of these is charity!

of salvation was by “faith alone” then faith would be the greatest!

We are in a different dispensation, that which is not eternal. There are temporal attributes required during these times, in order to fulfill the justification for the kingdom. During these temporal times, faith is mandatory, and gifts of the Spirit, for example, assist in building the Church for Christ. But, when that which is perfect arrives, these temporal, but imperative, characteristics and dispositions will not be necessary, for we all shall see him as he is, and we will become like him.

You are conflating two distinct and mutually separate principles. In this life time, faith is compulsory, for we are in the trial and testing period, and faith supersedes works, ...because faith is derived from wisdom and love. But, again, when we have made the grade, there is no longer any need for such attributes that imply judgment and hope, for our faith will have come to its fruition. Thus, you cannot compare the eternality of love, with the temporality of faith, both must be regarded in their respective contexts.

faith yes! Faith alone without the sacraments and prayer and virtue no!

the church is eternal?

lk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

I think of this scenario .....Imagining to have all the doctrines right and Jesus looks at me and says 'who are you?'

I think of this scenario .....Imagining to have all the doctrines right and Jesus looks at me and says 'who are you?'

1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Galatians 3:27
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

And also...

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:" Matt 7:22-24
