I appreciate the reply, but faith alone saves no one (Jas. 2:24)!
James 2:24 is merely making the point that Abraham's faith was vindicated, or in other words, proven to be true, through his works. Scripture is clear that Abraham was saved when he believed God (Romans 4:3). If a man is justified by works, he has the ability to glory, but not before God (Romans 4:2), because our righteousness' are nothing compared to God's standard (Romans 3:23, Romans 3:10, Isaiah 64:6).

Salvation is only received by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 4:5, Titus 3:5, John 1:12, Acts of the Apostles 16:31, Acts of the Apostles 2:21, Romans 10:9-13, Ephesians 1:13).

If someone has true faith in God then they will be saved from their sins and into marvelous light. True faith has the power to bring about obedience.
Amen! Which is His Grace working in us.

Hebrews 11 speaks of an obedient faith! (John 3:36)
Define "obedient faith" please. The Bible doesn't, so I would like you to; the Bible only ever talks about having faith or not, there is no distinction between so called "obedient faith" and "disobedient faith." To have faith at all is obedient... because you obey the gospel by believing it (Romans 6:17, 2 Thessalonians 1:8, Matthew 7:21, John 6:40).

How are we saved according to the Bible?
Romans 10:14 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

God calls you by some preacher who is ministering to you preaching the gospel , if you hear , UNDERSTAND and believe then you are saved . Simple

Gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
