“[w]e grant god has decreed the end and the means, and whatsoever god has decreed shall unavoidably come to pass. but we deny that faith is any means of our redemption, justification, or salvation. nothing but the lord jesus christ is the means of our salvation. there are means that are necessary to the revealing and enjoying the comfort of it, as the holy spirit and ministers to reveal it and faith to receive it; also, there be fruits and effects of the love of god, as faith, love, and obedience to christ…yet these are no means of our salvation.”
