Is repentance a work? Is repentance a condition of salvation, just like faith?
It goes right back to the verses I quoted earlier:
Ro 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
You can say that saying Jesus is Lord is a work if you want to, but the Bible doesn't . It separates faith from works here: Eph 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no-one can boast.
