The question is--is that faith alone, or dead faith that this grace flows through--or faith that is combined with works?

Libby--please identify when this grace flows through faith--before the works--or after works are combined with faith.

If it is before--then we are saved through dead faith:

James 2:20---King James Version (KJV)


20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

James--you connect works with salvation here. Can we not be His--and still be saved?
