Oh contrair. What comes first orem - faith or works?
What comes first according to 2 NEPHI 25:23?
What comes first according to MORONI 10:32?
What does the Apostle Paul states in Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Everything you posted agrees with what the LDS church teaches. Trying to force everything into a belief in grace vs. a belief in works outlook with a wall in between the two does not lead to understanding.
Thanks for an interesting discussion, but I’m on my way out the door.
