Scripture Alone

The Protestant Reformation really began on October 31, 1517 when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the church in Wittenbug, Germany.

One of the foundations of the Reformation was Sola Scriptura – which means Scripture Alone. This was known as the Formal Principle because it stands at the beginning and gives direction to all that Christians affirm. All that we know and believe as Christians come from the Bible – the Bible alone.

The Bible alone is our ultimate authority – not the pope, the church, church traditions, church councils, personal intimations, or subjective feelings. It is Scripture alone. That’s where we take our stand.

This was the issue in the 1500s and it is the issue today in the 21st century. Martin Luther said, “The Word of God is the greatest, most necessary, and most important thing in Christendom.”

At Believers Fellowship we too take our stand on Scripture Alone.
