It's presumed that if a person really did believe they would obey. Well what if we do not presume that? A person can believe but they still need to obey?
How many "evangelicals" would submit that a person can be saved and not repent? Is repentance a work?
At what point did those Jews on the day of Pentecostal believe? Was it when they asked "men and brethren, what shall we do (to be saved)?" If so, and obviously it takes faith in the message you just heard to ask such a question, then they needed to do something (even if only repentance) to be saved

Prax, you know as well as I do that there are tons, millions of people who say they believe God, but don't do the works (Repentence, Baptism, Living for God).
James said "Faith without works is "DEAD!"
