Salvation in the Orthodox Concept - HH Pope Shenouda III

Dangers of "One Single Verse"

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household" (Acts 16:31)

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God..." (Romans 5:1)

"But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness" (Romans 2:5)

It is not proper at all to follow this manner of using one single verse only... It is wrong and dangerous besides being unorthodox.

If anyone presents you a certain verse, however explicit and plain it may be, say to him: "One verse is of no use to me. Let us bring together all the texts relating to the subject, then we can argue."

No Salvation Except Through the Blood of Christ Alone
