The Six Solas

Spirit-Led Foundations of the Early Church (AD 33–325)

A Journey Back to the Faith Once Delivered

“Thus says the Lord, ‘Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you will find rest for your souls.’”
— Jeremiah 6:16, NASB1995

We live in a time when the foundations of our faith are being redefined—not always by secular forces, but often from within the Church. Doctrines are dissected. Theological systems debated. Denominations defended. And yet, many believers are still left feeling disconnected from the power, purity, and simplicity of the early Church.

This blog series is not an invitation to theological alignment.
It’s an invitation to spiritual awakening.

We’re going to journey through the Six Solas—but not as they were recited during the Reformation. We’ll explore them as they were lived and embodied by the men and women of the Ante-Nicene Church, who held fast to the faith from Pentecost to persecution—long before councils, creeds, or clerical systems took over.

Why Six?

You’ve likely heard of the Five Solas:

• Sola Scriptura – Scripture Alone
• Sola Fide – Faith Alone
• Sola Gratia – Grace Alone
• Solus Christus – Christ Alone
• Soli Deo Gloria – Glory to God Alone

But there’s one more that pulses through them all—without which none can be truly understood or lived:

👉 Solo Spiritu Sancto — By the Holy Spirit Alone
The Holy Spirit is not a theological accessory.
He is the Interpreter of Scripture (1 Cor. 2:12–13),
the Power behind obedience (Rom. 8:13–14),
and the Bond of unity in the body of Christ (Eph. 4:3–4).

The early Church did not function by system, seminary, or state approval.
They walked in the power of the indwelling Spirit, clinging to the teachings of Jesus and His apostles, and loving not their lives—even to death.

What to Expect

Each post in this series will be a deep dive into one of the Six Solas, unpacked through:

• The plain reading of Scripture (NASB 1995, with strict exegesis and no eisegesis)
• The writings and practices of the Ante-Nicene Church (AD 33–325)
• The challenges of today’s Church culture, and
• A call to Spirit-led obedience in every area of life

Each entry will also be paired with a visual reflection to share and remember.
This is more than a teaching—it’s a transformational journey for those ready to go deeper.

Who Is This For?

• The woman reading Scripture and wondering, “Why doesn’t my church look like this?”
• The young believer longing to follow Christ without man’s traditions overshadowing His voice
• The weary soul who’s tasted systems and is now asking, “Where is the Spirit?”

Will You Walk This Path?

The early believers didn’t have denominations, seminaries, or creeds.
What they had was Scripture, the Holy Spirit, a risen Christ, and unshakable faith.

Let’s return.
Let’s rebuild.
Let’s be rooted and raised by what the Spirit taught, the Apostles preached, and the early Church lived.

“Contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.”
— Jude 3
