Is repentance a work? Is repentance a condition of salvation, just like faith?
I think that repentance is a symptom of genuine salvation which comes through faith. You have to believe first. A person who does not believe has no reason to repent. I would agree that repentance is a work.
This faith and works thing has been beat to death for 2000 years. They go hand in hand. If you "identify" as a Christian, but still desire to steal, commit adultery, hurt people, all that kind of stuff something is wrong. You need to get it fixed. On the other hand if you Identify as a Christian and do your good works only as an insurance policy against hell then your good works are "dead" because they are not of faith but fear. You need to get that fixed.
The way you get either one fixed is to walk in Love.
