Sola Fide
"And so all Israel shall be saved." —Romans 11:26
the literal translation is "and in this way all Israel shall be saved." Many people think this verse just means that all Israel shall be in some way saved. This emphasizes the 'all' and the 'shall' rather than the point of the text--all Israel shall be saved, and they shall all be saved in this way--that is, by faith! So it does say that all Israel shall be saved; it just says a whole lot more than that, too.
There is no other way of being saved but by the way of faith--and this applies to all humans, not just gentiles, not just ethnic Jews.
