Faith alone is dead.
Grace alone is not dead!

Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

You quote all those verses but don't believe them!

Why do you think they confessed their sins after they believed?


Acts 19:18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
The gospel of our salvation is not in the Acts of the apostles. Everything was changing. The gospel and doctrine to the Body of Christ is found in the form words of Romans through Philemon!

A person could believe that Jesus is the Messiah and still not be saved because they have not repented of their sins.
Those having only faith in the WHO of Jesus Christ aren't saved because they have not trusted the WHY of the cross (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV) which is the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV) unto every one that believeth (Romans 1:16 KJV).

Your requirements for people to be saved today are more than God requires.
