OP? "faith ALONE/scripture ALONE/Christ ALONE"?
false trichotomy?
Then:
grace ALONE + above 3 would be false quadotomy?
or, NOT leaving #5 out?:
Glory to God ALONE + above 4 = false quintotomy?
Which ONE has the Power to Save? Instead, how about?:
Grace Through faith In Only Christ, According to The
Scriptures, For The Glory Of God! - alone -
Amen?

Simple. Because the devisive issues are exactly why we have denominations which are division. Discussing the devisive issues is the only way to get people to understand truth in an attempt to eliminate or at least mitigate divisiveness.

There is God (none come to the Father except through the Son), there is the relationship between God and you (faith), and there is the scripture that points toward how to build that relationship, like a blueprint, a roadmap, or a lattice.
None of them really exist in isolation when we're talking about salvation. And like some of your other poll threads, I suspect you are trying to build toward a criticism of some concepts taken out of context.

Salvation comes from the Father ( who grants us repentance) through His Son (who erases our sins) and His Holy Spirit ( who perfects us by filling our hearts with divine love for God and people). We are obeying Him when all of our thoughts and actions are motivated by love. Salvation is a state of being created by God and not man. You are born again when you reach this state of being and become receptive to His bidding through His Holy Spirit. Jesus' bread was to do the Father's will and we who are saved and are part of the body of Christ desire the same.
