If any one says, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; reform this person.
We all take chances in life. To trust in Jesus for salvation may feel like taking a chance. To trust God to provide for ones needs may feel like a step of faith. Often times people may look to themselves, their good works instead of leaning on Jesus. Or one may look to their themselves such as their knowledge, or pedigree or something else instead of looking to Jesus. We all take chances in life. You seem to be depending on having the correct doctrine. This is still taking a chance. Psalm 118:8( KJV) says " It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."

5795 x 3 = 17385
17385 ÷ 60 = 289.75 <--roughly 300 if one counts how long it takes to load a page!

It's ok. Math can be hard. There are these particular ways of solving a problem in math and those can be complicated and then after a while of not using it, it can easily be forgotten. I remember getting some tutoring once for math in high school. I once looked at some math notes I made after having been out of school for a while and I did not have any idea how it worked anymore.

You are the one who will come to see the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ to be absolutely necessary for salvation; I ALREADY KNOW.

He has also confused salvation with glorification. Our body is redeemed at the resurrection, completing Gods good work in us. But before that, our souls are redeemed. No final redemption without blood of Jesus and Holy Spirit redemption
No one can enter into Gods presence until they are sprinkled with blood and annointed with oil. (Holy Spirit), and put on the right garments.
The body does not keep us out of Gods presence when we have been clothed with Christ.

Faith is the door of entrance into a treasure room of all the good things that you lay as conditions.to enter ( Good works, obedience, resurrected body,etc). You lay them as conditions to be saved. I believe the priviledge we receive to do them are blessings and benefits, even gracious endowments that are part of the riches in Christ
God let me buy The right to enter the treasure room with the things that are in it and cannot be obtained without first entering. Doesn’t work like that
God needs nothing from us. The command and exhortations to obey, to be Holy, and to do good works, are wholly beneficial to us, and are a ground for us to thank God to the Highest degree that He would shower unworthy us with blessings like these through Christ
