Sola Fide” é Inconcebível?

November 4, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Graça sem limites - Acreditando, fé, sola fide

Dizer às pessoas que a salvação é pela fé em Jesus à parte das obras não significa muito se ele ou ela não souber o que significa crer. Eu perguntei a um grupo dedicado ao “Provisionalismo” – que visa defender as crenças batistas tradicionalistas contra o Calvinismo – o que significa acreditar. Nem todos no

A reader pointed me to an interesting article (originally a blog) entitled Sola Fide or Sola Fidelity? (See here.) It is by Wes White, a Reformed Pastor.

Saved by Faith, or by Faith Formed by Love?

November 3, 2014 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - fides caritate formata, Free Grace, justification by faith, legalism, lutheran, sola fide, Soteriology

By Shawn Lazar Sola fide or fides caritate formata? Are we saved by faith alone, or faith formed by love? During the Reformation, that was one of the questions faced by Martin Luther, and it is an objection that the Free Grace movement still hears today. Faith in Jesus isn’t enough, some people say, you
