Can someone else’s faith save me?

Answered in 1 source

No, each individual is accountable to God for their own faith; one cannot be saved by another's faith (Romans 14:12).

It is a fundamental aspect of Christian doctrine that each individual is responsible for their own faith in God. Romans 14:12 asserts that we must give an account of ourselves to God, emphasizing personal accountability in matters of salvation. While the faith of others can influence and assist us in coming to faith, such as through prayer or witnessing, ultimate salvation is a personal experience sustained by one's faith in Christ. The scripture consistently teaches that although we can support one another, no one can believe for someone else, and spiritual regeneration is a divine act performed by God in the hearts of individuals.
