Faith is the keeping of the commandments!

Read John’s first epistle.

Read James epistle.

Read Matthew 7:21-23.

Read Romans ch 2. (who will be justified? Doers, not hearers!)

Read James epistle.

Like the part where if anyone fails in one part of the law he/she fails the entire thing.

Your requirement is perfect obedience to the Law ...

The Law does not provide, nor did it ever provide regeneration ... which is why the old covenant nation of Israel contained many unbelievers. The Law did not provide a guarantee of regeneration.

The New covenant DOES provide for regeneration ... in fact, regeneration is the entrance requirement for the new covenant ... there are no unregenerate believers in the new covenant. If you are not regenerate, you are not a true believer.

What you are espousing is NOT the new covenant.

Wrong. Keeping the commandments is evidence of faith.

Read the rest of Romans. After saying the doers are justified, it clearly establishes that NO ONE is a doer. No one can keep the law. That is why we are saved by faith. That is why Christ died and set us free from the law.
