"I wonder how "sola scripture" works with a population that is largely illiterate?"

We support a large number of missionaries and are translating The SCRIPTURE into native languages.
Sola Scriputra is pretty straight forward, as people read and begin to understand the SCRIPTURES they quickly realize that they need to place their FAITH in JESUS CHRIST after that the HOLY SPIRIT takes over.

The unsaved can't understand scripture unless the Holy Spirit illuminates it for them.
Faith in Christ is a result of, not a prerequisite of, salvation.
