I believe God when he says be ye holy, for I am holy--I cleanse myself from all filthiness of the flesh & spirit.
It ain't complicated--if you have faith--you will have works by your obedience. 
I could go into a 10 page disertation but this is the Ron's notes version.

I have repented
I have been Baptized. ( I have never met a new believer that was not excited to be Baptized)
I have spoken with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
I am walking after the Spirit trying to live a life pleasing to God.
My next door neighbor is an good old Baptist sister who loves the Lord and is saved.
She has repented
She has been Baptized
She has the Spirit of God. Never spoken in tongues but sure has much fruit.
She is walking out her faith and living a life pleasing to God.
She cuts her hair and wears pants and a touch of makeup.
If you could write a 10 pager off a handful of scriptures and I bet somebody else could write a 10 pager about Faith, Grace and Justification based upon the finished work of the Cross.
