If you believe there is one version of "Faith Alone" and "Scripture Alone" POST IT!!!
1.) Faith is counted as Righteousness

2.) Man does not live by bread alone but by every word (scripture) that comes from the mouth of God

Do you believe your version of "Faith Alone" and "Scripture Alone" is the only one binding?

It doesn't take much time to answer the main thread question.
Why don't you develop your own version of "Faith Alone" and "Scripture Alone" and have it patented at the Patent Office? Then you won't have to keep asking this question.

If I do that, will I get to enforce my version of "Faith Alone" and Scripture Alone" as binding?

Many have asked you for clarification. You have yet to be able to articulate any context or reason to believe that there is anyone who is getting these statements wrong. I think it would be prudent to spare the scoffing.
Thus far this seems a troll.

I asked, whose version of "Faith Alone" and "Scripture Alone" is binding; I am not asking if there is any context or reason to believe that there is anyone who is getting these statements wrong.

Then you have my answer. There are no versions, the terms are self defining.

Please define "Faith Alone" and "Scripture Alone" in a way which is binding on everyone.
You know what words mean. I answered your question. We have no farther conversation. Until you answer my question.

Your version of "Faith Alone" and "Scripture Alone" isn't binding on anybody.
I dont have a version. The words mean what they mean. Its not my job to bind people. That is the job of the Holy Spirit.
Like i said we have no conversation until you answer my question. And now I up the stakes, until you answer every question asked of you in this thread. Thank you, good bye.

This lacks an explanation I'm not sure what is being asked the Bible teaches faith in the cross over angels and Paul giving other gospels. Paul said if he or an angel gave another doctrine than what they received don't believe them.

John 20

"And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."

Read the rest of the book and count how many times the word believe (th, d) is used.
You'll have the answer if you use the King James Bible.

Heaven is by ...alone
Race Runner,

The reason for my encouragement to read the King.James Bible and underline the various forms of the word "believe" is the following.
* I had got done asking the Lord to confirm to me exactly what He intended man's response to be to the sacrifice and resurrection of His Son.
*I then noticed a theme in this gospel of John.
*A word kept popping up, so I decided to count it, putting the number for each time used in a chapter at the top of the page.
I wanted to make sure, so I did it again. To be certain, I did this 7 times. Why KJV? I noticed that the other versions I counted a fewer number that didn't have the same as the one that I normally read.
*This particular reading built and solidified my faith that this answer was truly from God and not a man.
*Since it was such a blessing, I wanted to pass it along to you if you want to do likewise just once.
*Perhaps I don't understand your question, but I trust this provides the answer.

There is no need to drag KJV-onlyism into this.
I wasn't dragging kjvo into this. This was a response to RaceRunners question. I discovered after much reading that the KJV has a certain number of times that was not the same with the others that I checked.

You caught me at a bad time the other day Dino. I'm Sorry for coming across so defensive with my response.
