4. Why must we believe all that God has revealed?'

Because God is the eternal and infallible truth.

5. Is faith necessary to salvation?

Faith is absolutely necessary to salvation; for without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebr. xi. 6).

6. Will any faith save us?

No; only the true faith, which Christ our Lord has taught, will save us.

7. Why will that faith only which Christ has taught save us?

Because by this faith alone, and by no other, we are made partakers of Christ, and without Christ there is no salvation.

8. Is it, then, a sin to say that it does not matter what faith we profess?

Yes, it is a grievous sin to say so, or even only to think so; for we despise God by it, who has given us the one true faith, and, therefore, has sent his Only Begotten Son into the world (Short Hist, of Revealed Religion, Concl. Rem. 1).
