Acts 7:51 You stiff-necked people, you always resist the Holy Spirit. We, by our own freewill, can resist God and His grace, and turn away from Him.

Detch were you paraphrasing Acts 7:51? Not being a stickler but it says this:

Acts 7:

51 “You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did. 52 Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who had previously announced the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become; 53 you who received the law as ordained by angels, and yet did not keep it.”

You are right. Sorry.

How about James, then...
[14] What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?
[15] And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food:
[16] And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?
[17] So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
[18] But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith.
[19] Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble.
[20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
