    If God leaves the ball in your court to complete your salvation, it is salvation by works. And You take God's glory in salvation for yourself.

    You are a false teacher. Salvation is never by anyone's works.

    What if you do not react? Then you remain lost and this IS salvation by works according to your scheme.

    Works of faith prior to salvation. We know salvation is not by any such works of faith. Confession with one's mouth, Romans 10:9. Praying for salvation, Romans 10:13-14. And belief followed by baptism for salvation, Mark 16:16. None of those three texts teach those works of faith to be required in order to be saved. But those three texts demonstrate faith precedes salvation.

    If you have anything to do with your salvation, it is by works. God must first save you by grace so you can respond.
