Of course, why not?
We have to repent of our sins.
If you have trouble giving up some sins, then Jesus will help you.
ECT These signs will follow them who believe.

We have NOTHING to do besides, place our faith in Christ! That's it!!

A person could convert to Judaism.
Nevertheless, what does it have to do with what I said?
The Gentiles were the unclean people.
Don't you believe that?
They were the unclean people because they did not have the ceremonial works that required the Jews to clean themselves.

I do what the Way says to do.
Try and stick with "TODAY!" What does God expect of you TODAY?
Can one EARN eternal life by giving up their sins?

If that were true, then I would have been saved and reconciled to God as a Catholic child who did not really understand the Catholic denomination, but nevertheless believed in God and Jesus.
If what you say is true, then all denominations are saved people.
If what you say is true, then anyone and everyone who says they believe in Jesus is saved.
I tell you, I did not know God until I obeyed Jesus.

We are speaking about the New Testament. I am explaining what was written a couple of thousand years ago.

The "UNSAVED" will stand before God one day! They will be
judged by their "WORKS," not their SINS! You know why?
Because, Christ paid for the sins of ALL mankind! Whether
they choose to place their faith in Him or not, the sin question
was taken care of at the cross! Once one has heard the Grace
Message, placed their faith in Christ, been sealed/indwelt by
the Holy Spirit and "baptized" (not water baptism) into the
"Body of Christ" they have received the "Righteousness of
Christ" and will gain eternal life!

Works are also called sins.
Our FAITH is the prerequisite! We receive ALL the blessings
of God, the righteousness of Christ, and eternal life, through
God's Grace, received ONLY by our faith!
Show us?

Faith alone is dead and it cannot save anyone. That is what the scripture says. See James 2:14, 17, and 22.
Jesus saves us, gives us his Holy Spirit after he accepts us, see Acts 15:8.
Who does Jesus accept?
Jesus accepts those who fear God and do what is right. See Acts 10:35.
Who does Jesus save and give his Spirit to?
Jesus gives his Spirit to those who obey. See Acts 5:32.
Who was the book of James referring to?

Galatians 6:8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
2 Corinthians 11:13
For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
Romans 6:16 Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
John 8:34
Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Romans 6:20
When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.
Romans 6:21
What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!
2 Peter 2:19
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity--for "people are slaves to whatever has mastered them."

GT, since you didn't answer my question, I'll answer it
for you! James 1:1 states; "James, a servant of God and
of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are
scattered abroad, greeting.
James was speaking to the 12 tribes! He wasn't speaking to the
Body of Christ! Thus, he stated, "Works without faith is dead!"
You won't hear Paul say that! Cause, he was preaching the "Grace
Message" to the gentiles! Only faith was required for salvation
according to "Paul's Gospel!" And, that's the way it is for today,
for both Jew and gentile!

Read Jame 1:1 "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
He was speak to the 12 tribes! Try and deny it all you want but, it
won't change the truth of what James 1:1 is saying!!!
