Romans 10 9 10 . We must come to the Lord with a repentent heart and believe and trust Him for our salvation. Acts 2 38 has nothing to do with a christians salvation in the church age. It was a Jewish festival and an admonition to the Jews, because they had killed their Messiah. It happened only one time in history. Their was not a christian present at this festival. These 3000 Jews where the only ones EVER saved this way. We receive the Holy Ghost when we are saved. Our gospel is in 1Cor.1 4 the gospel of grace. Also works has nothing to do with our salvation. We do not work to be saved,we work for the Lord because we are saved. The passage in James 2 is addressing Tribulation Jews that must believe in Jesus plus works to be saved. Our faith alone in Christ is sufficient for our salvation we need no works. The Jews will in the Trib.period. Remember 2Tim.2 15 "Rightly dividing the word of truth ". James is a prophesy book about Jacobs trouble tribulation period of the Jews. James 1 "To the twelve tribes " we are not one of the twelve tribes.
