Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
I know we have been round the block on this subject a few times, but there are still some questions in my mind that just don't line up.
But first
Acts 2:38 is a set of works, no matter how I wrangle it, it still comes down to works. Not only that according to apostolic's it is not just one work but three. Repentance, baptism and speaking in tongues. In essence you are doing something to get something!
Yes it has been said that faith can be considered a work as it is doing something. But right here in Ephesians Paul uses faith as the counterpart to works so that argument does not work.
