"Confession and baptism" are works of man, not God.

Faith alone, given to man by His grace.

Like Lazarus, we live again to repent only after God regenerates our dead hearts.

The Bible does not teach faith alone.

The Bible does teach that "confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:10). How can we be saved before confession if confession is made unto, or towards, salvation?

The Bible also teaches that we are baptized "for the remission of sins" (Acts 2:38). How can we be saved before baptism if it is for, or towards, the remission of our sins?
