Saved by Faith Alone
Watched another video. And the truth was spoken. The subject was Answering Denominational Doctrines: Saved by Faith Alone.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.11.6.NKJV

John 12:42-43 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.12.42-43.NKJV
Some of the Pharisees believed. But didn't confess Jesus. They feared men and loved their praise more than the praise of God. Therefore they weren't saved just by mere belief.

It's an essential step in the gospel plan of salvation: confessing Christ.
As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.8.30-44.NKJV

Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
