What are the roles of faith and works for Christians? Do you agree with the doctrine of salvation by faith alone?

What are the roles of faith and works for Christians? Do you agree with the doctrine of salvation by faith alone?No, as a rule.

Justification or salvation through faith alone was preached by Paul, not Jesus.

Christian is as Christian does. If a person claims to be saved through faith, yet continues to act poorly towards others, then obviously there has been no spiritual effect from said "salvation".

The best Christians I've known are the ones who demonstrate their faith in their behavior towards others, not the ones who attempt to "witness to" anyone they can corner.
