But you are still missing the real principle involved, I think. None of the categories you noted are relevant. Salvation by works is the issue. What falls in that category and what does not?
What did Paul mean by salvation by works? He meant there are things people assume we can do in our human energy to award ourselves righteousness without the need of the cross. THAT is the issue we must deal with and the category in which we must determine the works involved are. Anything else misses the entire point against our core issue of what exactly is salvation by works. And baptism, Spirit infilling with speaking in tongues (WE speak while the SPIRIT GIVES utterance) and repentance all have US doing something, but in no way are they done in human energy to get righteousness without the cross.

How do we know someone is speaking in Tongues? Who is to judge that what is said is truly of the Spirit?
