Protestant Faiths are splinter groups from the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. They typically hold to Sola Scriptura (The Bible alone determines the content of one's beliefs) and Sola Fide (Faith alone is necessary for salvation, apart from works). Because of varying views on what beliefs the Bible is proposing, as well as a lack of central authority, over time there have been tens of thousands of different Protestant splinter groups, known as denominations that have sprung up. These denominations make up the various Protestant Faiths that exist today.
