Re: Salvation is Offered Just for Belief -- Part 2 (Not Water Dunking)
It is an observation that time & time again, the only thing a man is to do to be saved is believe, have faith in the real Lord Jesus. That does not change God's word; it is a characteristic of God's word.
Faith saves Eph 2:8 Yes.
Repentance saves Lk 13:3 = change of mind from non-belief to belief;
confession saves Rom 10:9 = agreeing with God that Christ is YHWH defines the object of belief, the only faith that saves is that in the real Lord Jesus
baptism saves 1 Pet 3:21 = no it doesn't. Baptism is a picture of salvation.
engrafted word saves James 1:21 = the engrafted word is not something a man does or must do
Many things are part of salvation; God does many things.
Man has but one thing to do: believe, have faith in the real Christ.
hope saves Rom 8:24 Rom 8:24 does not say that at all.
grace saves Titus 2:11 That is God's part, not man's.
blood of Christ saves Rev 1:5 That is God's part, not man's.
obedience saves Rom 6:16-18 Saves / salvation in not in those verses; this is made up.
But there is an obedience which saves = obeying this command:
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved."
calling on the name of the Lord saves Rom 10:13 Faith may be expressed through a call. Next verse says How shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed. It is still faith that saves. That faith may be exercised in a call, does not establish that a call is essential.
gospel saves Rom 1:16 Gospel is not something a man does.
Straw man. The truth presented is not that faith is the only thing that saves. The truth presented is that believing (having faith) in the true Lord Jesus is the only essential thing a man must do to be saved.
Not a single verse you posted says "faith alone" saves. God's word would have to be changed/perverted by adding the word 'alone'

Faith is far from being the only thing that saves.
