So, are you agreeing with dberrie, that the "faith alone" Christians profess is a dead faith? A faith that does not lead to works? I suppose you can defend that on another board. I'm pretty sure they'd disagree with you.Faith is just the first principle of the gospel according to the creed...
3. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
You also have to. "
2.We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
There is no room for faith alone in a LDS construct, which you want to champion.
I understand the term faith alone differently. Because we have faith, we repent, because we repent we get baptized, because we get baptized we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
