-—That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.——

But this single verse must be reconciled with all of Scripture. Including these verses:

James 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

I would say that both James 2:26 and John 15:5 refer to what we do AFTER we are saved!
