Huh? What am I missing, xzins? I thought your statement was brief, concise, and to the point.

Any Action of Will, is necessarily a Work. Work = Action, Action = Work.

Biblical Belief does not involve an Action of Will; rather, Belief is created in the Elect by the monergistic action of the Spirit. Belief then results in Good Works, involving actions of Will; but is not itself a Willed Choice.

Nice try, but it will not work!

"Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

According to your hypothesis, they healed themselves! I don't think so.!
