The five basic beliefs of Protestantism, often referred to as the "Five Solas," are:
-
Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) - The Bible is the sole authority for Christian faith and practice.
-
Sola Fide (Faith Alone) - Salvation is achieved through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works.
-
Sola Gratia (Grace Alone) - Salvation is a gift from God, granted by His grace, not earned by human effort.
-
Solus Christus (Christ Alone) - Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and humanity.
-
Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone) - All glory is to be due to God alone for salvation and all aspects of life.
