And where do you find "works of faith" in regard to repentance and baptism?
In the entire NT, "works" is never used of faith, repentance or baptism.
In the entire NT, "works" means only works of the law.

"Works of faith" is your notion, not a Biblical notion.

Of course, because faith is the cause, and works are the effect.
Agreed. . .effects are not "after thoughts", they are necessary consequences.
But you don't obey it until you believe what you hear.
I'm not going to obey anything God says if I don't believe it.
And faith is a gift (Php 1:29; 2Pe 1:1; Ac 18:27; Ro 12:3),
it is not my own "work."
Obedience is the result of faith, not the cause of it.
Yes, he is the author of the salvation which always results in obedience.
There was no salvation if there is no obedience,
for obedience is the necessary consequences of faith,
and manifests counterfeit faith if it is not present (Mt 7:21-23),
which has no root of rebirth (Lk 8:13).

Wrong. . .
Believing (Php 1:29: 2Pe 1:1; Ac 18:27; Ro 12:3) and repenting (2Tim 2:25; Ac 11:18, 5:31) are free gifts of God, not the works of man.
Wrong. . .
Only when something in God's creation is strong enough to snatch the born again from his hand,

That's a fail. . .salvation by true (not counterfeit) obedient faith which has the root of rebirth (Lk 8:13)

You and Sea bass need to be regenerated From on High. Your fruit and manifestation of a works salvation tells those Led of the Spirit you both are of the weedy variety.... Indeed. What happens to weeds? Mmmmmmmm Go read the parable of the sower... Until ye are regenerated from on High and and your rebellion forgiven , ye walk in Darkness , and How Great is that darkness .
God did not have to save man but because of God's grace He has granted man the opportunity to be saved through belief and repentance. Those men that take advantage of what God has granted to mankind by believing and repenting can be saved.
Eph 2:10 God "BEFORE ORDAINED" Christians walk in good works so one cannot be a Christian and remain saved without doing what God has before ordained Christians are to do. You cannot change the WORKS CHrisians have been preordaiend to do.
Jn 6:27,28 does not contradict Eph 2:10 as you have it.
Two sides to salvation:
1) man's faithfulness to God
2) God's faithfulness to man
Jn 6:27 shows man's faithfulness to God in a continued faithful hearing and following of Christ. Those that MAINTAIN this faithful hearing and following, God in turn is faithful to them by not allowing them to be snatched from His hand. Those that become unfaithful in their hearing and following Christ remove themselves from God's hand..no verse says God must be faithful to save those that become unfaithful to Him.
You are pitting Eph 2:10 against Jn 6:28 causing contradictions among these two verses. If the Christian is not faithful in being a sheep of Christ in doing good works per Eph 2:10 he removes himself from God's hand.
You cannot change the works God "before ordained" Christians are to do with another verse.
Paul says grace excludes all physical actions of "righteousness."
Justification/righteousness is not based on any "righteous" physical actions, it is a free gift (Ro 5:17)
through the gift of faith (Php 1:29; 2Pe 1:1; Ac 18:27; Ro 12:3).
Sanctification/righteousness of the justified is the result of their obedience of faith by the enablement of the Holy Spirit.
You do not understand the difference between justification through faith, and sanctification through the obedience of faith.

(sebastian you are not among His sheep)
