Belive And Be Saved

There is a difference between saved and lost. The lost can do nothing that will obligate God to save them so God gives salvation as a gift to those that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Once the gift is given and received there is a new life that is to be lived. In that life we are to live a Christ directed Christian life that involves works.

Don’t worry because faith does not save anyone, God does all the saving.

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.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

All you have done is make your stance more confusing and contradictory.
You are back to claiming that a belief alone saves, yet you have already acknowledged that belief alone does not save(ie demons who believe)
You say that it is grace which saves, and that it's God who does all the saving???
If God truely does all the saving, then why do we need faith or belief??? Wouldn't that cons***ute a requirement or an action on our part?
You also contradicted yourself when you stated that a person could lose their salvation by their actions.
If that is true then you are now saying that our works are tied to or salvation.... Whether those works happen before or after you are saved is irrelevant to the requirement.

That is the paradox of Faith Alone believers... If you truely believe that our works have nothing to do with our salvation, then whatever we do before and after we are "saved" will have no consequences or repercussions on our salvation... In other words, if you were a true faith/belief Alone believer than you would also have to believe in OSAS as well.
