But I'm talking about our salvation coming at the point of repentance, salvation that comes when we believe. Is repentance completely belief? I'm not saying that it is and I don't really think it's an enormous point in the dialogue. If you need to separate faith and repentance and call them completely different things, I'm not gonna yell and scream about it and I'm not terribly interested in arguing about it.
My point is, belief, the turn, faith, repentance....these are not works. We are declared righteous because of our faith and it is faith...belief...confesses Jesus as Lord and that God has raised Him from the dead.
