No. . .saving faith in Jesus Christ is faith in and trust on his person and atoning work (blood--Romans 3:25) for the remission
of one's sin and right standing with God's justice; i.e., "not guilty," sanctified.
"Having faith in God's nature" is extraneous to saving faith.
If you agree that Jesus is the exact expression of God's nature, then I don't see how you can deny that having faith in Jesus is the same as faith in God's nature. Faith in and trust on his person is faith in and trust on the nature of God because his person is the nature of God. Good works are those actions that are in accordance with God's nature while sins are those actions that are against God's nature. In Titus 2:14, Jesus gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own possession who are zealous for good works, so faith in the atoning work for the remission of one's sin and right standing with God is the same as having faith in God's nature. It is contradictory for someone to not have faith in God's nature for how we should live while thinking that the need atonement for not acting in accordance with God's nature.
More torquing of Scripture to allow the salvation of Orthodox Jews who reject Jesus Christ.
One foot in, one foot out.
Anathema! (curem)
I don't believe that the Bible allows for the salvation of Orthodox Jews who reject Jesus Christ, but I can't stop you from making up stuff about what I believe.
