To those confused and those confused by the confused (and those confused by the consciously mischievous)

Justification is by faith alone. And faith is not a work. Faith is of the law of Christ, not of the law of works. In the law of Christ what God demands He gives freely. (See the link to the relevant section from Fisher's Marrow of Modern Divinity in the post below.)

Federal Theology was developed for a reason. It is biblical covenant theology systematized. It is biblical doctrine pure, bold, and unwatered-down and un-negotiated to the demands of fallen man's vanity, worldly pride, and rebellious self-will.

Ryle's definition of evangelical Christianity is not a definition of one kind of Christianity: it is the definition of biblical Christianity.
