I believe faith that saves us, but that faith has various applications. In this age the application of faith is repentance, baptism and receiving the Holy Spirit as being the normative experience of a faith filled believer.

But what I can't find or see in scripture is a all or nothing approach.

I will not condemn a person who upon a sincere faith expression in Jesus being the answer to their sin problem.

Whom God justifies I will not declare them to be lost or not right with God.

But the believer who refuses to obey revelation and knowledge at that point refuses to be a believer.

Can't quite agree on this. While I think it is the normative experience for the new Christian, I would say it is the faith placed in Christ that causes and brings a new believer to repentance, baptism and recieving the Spirit.

I do agree on "Whom God justifies I will not declare them to be lost or not right with God" -- further, I would also argue it is not always clearly known (by man) who is justified.
