Circumcision of the heart is left out it it often. Isn't that an unfortunate oversight?

I agree. I equate that with regeneration also. But everyone seems to have some nuance.
Christ’s faith justifies the believer.
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Sorry brother if I was mistaken. People wrongly misplace James as Christian doctrine instead of doctrine for the twelve tribes during a time of Jacob’s trouble. It is doctrine to one who has to endure like Job.
Romans 3:
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith IN Jesus Christ , even when we believed IN Christ Jesus,
that we might be justified by faith IN Jesus Christ etc Gal 2:16 NKJV.
The individual's faith leads to justification.
1 Peter 1:9 - receiving the end of YOUR faith—the salvation of your souls.
Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God through faith IN Jesus Christ. NKJV
You need to get a more accurate Bible translation.
Christ had perfect faith, always doing the will of the Father, from start to finish. That’s the righteousness of God on display…but now. Christ’s faith never wavered.
Words are evidences (FOR OR AGAINST) having faith in Jesus or a lack of faith.
Luke 23:39 - Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us." - by your words you will be condemned.
Luke 23:40-42 - But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong." Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." - by your words you will be justified.
How can Christ's faith be you saying Yes to God.
We are saved because we repent, and like the people of Israel when Moses lifted the serpent. We looked up in faith to Christ.
Christ did not do that for us. we have to do that ourself
God does not remove free will. nor does he change it, he can do things to help someone see him and change. But he will not alter his free will
that's impossible.. That would make a person alive who is still in sin (not yet been justified)
that would be true, except wqe also have romans 4, Eph 2, titus 3: 5 which taken in the context of your interpretation of james, makes the bible contradict itself..
You have 1 passage. far to many other passages say the opposite.. Or your interpretation of your 1 passage is in error
Rightly divides the audiences puts an end to any so called contradictions. God's directions have changed throughout the course of human history. Consider the audience in James, the twelve tribes. This is not the body of Christ.
Faith and works is Biblical from Genesis to Revelation and they’re plainly required. You’re free to reject that if you wish. As far as the Bible is concerned, you and I live in two different worlds.
Not necessarily. It merely presupposes an inward work of God beforehand.
