Actually Hebrews 7:19 would be a verse that I would expect some in the Belief Alone camp to bring up by now. They think that the Law made nothing perfect by this verse. What they fail to realize is that this is in reference to the Levitical priesthood Law (i.e. the Law of Moses) see Hebrews 7:11, and it is not in reference to God's eternal moral laws (Which are perfect and can convert the soul). For Scripture does not contradict Scripture. It breathes in harmony as a cohesive whole.
The levitical law made nothing perfect because the blood of goats and bulls never took away sin on a permanent basis. They only temporarily resolved sin, and they had to keep revisiting the same past sins year after year.
The sacrifices of the written Levitical Law can never make perfect. Not God's eternal Moral Law. God's eternal moral law is perfect and it can convert the soul.
"If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?" (Hebrews 7:11).
"For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God." (Hebrews 7:19).

"For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." (Hebrews 10:4).
"The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming--not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship." (Hebrews 10:1) (NIV).
