you are trying to prove that faith is the one thing that is the requirement for salvation.....but the scripture says it is by grace through faith in Christ...and Christ says to obey his words....
you reject scripture to be comforted in your doctrine....look how you make a list...when all these things happen simultaneously.....faith without works is dead....
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
[SUP]20 [/SUP]but declared both to them of Damascus first and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
you can't say you have faith and do nothing.......those who believe and is baptised shall be saved.....

Good work, obey and so forth is impossible produce by branch itself.
Branch must have Faith first, then abide to the tree, than produce fruit in the form of good work, obey and so forth.
In other word, faith in Jesus is the root of salvation then Jesus help this faith full servant to do work.
Our part is just decide to have a faith to Him.
When you said salvation require work it mean you must supply with good work + faith before save/in order to be save.
that not what Jesus said. Jesus said you can't produce good work by yourself. Good work is product of the vine. the branch only channel not producer.
