So your salvation is based on belief plus something else

Your salvation appears to be based on grace plus something else (belief).

And what's worse, in John 6:28-29 Jesus explicitly says that belief itself is a 'work', so apparently you believe in works-based salvation.

Ephesians 1:10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

14  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Man, how did you learn to read? That verse says it's a work of GOD, not of man. Get a grip, will ya?

John 6:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
