Q&A: 1 Corinthians 13:2 — 'if I have all faith but no love I am nothing' — is this faith + love = salvation?

The Debate Over James 2: Catholic or Protestant View 01:01:03 – 01:02:35

Viewer question about 1 Corinthians 13 and whether it implies faith plus love for salvation

1 Corinthians 13:2 says 'if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.' A viewer asks if Paul is teaching faith + love = salvation. Mike says no: this is faith to move mountains (miraculous/charismatic faith), not saving faith. These are different kinds of faith — saving faith vs. faith for miracles. Paul's point in 1 Corinthians 13 is that any spiritual gift or ability without love is worthless.
