Man (as a spiritual being) is saved, justified (i. e. given god"s justice) Sola scriptura = by scripture (the bible, the word of god) alone. Sola gratia = by the grace of god alone. Therefore: not by works or human actions. In terms of salvation, man has no free will. If we are saved only by faith alone,scripture alone, graces alone: sola fida, sola scriptura, sola gratia - what does this mean and how does it guarantee christian. Two kingdoms theory : free in the spiritual realm, bound to duty to others (including princes) in the earthly realm. Challenge all false spiritual authority but servant to earthly authorities. Any authority, institution, practice, group of people. Etc. that hinders our access to the bible and faith, can and must be challenged.
