"works" his belief, this is the "works of God"
any other "work" outside this realm has no benefit as far as Eternal destiny is concerned
These other works are DEAD Works to be repented of. For instance our LDS friends are going to get a higher heaven based on works ( exhaltation Type 2 salvation - type one is Universal ressurection by grace for all even unbelievers [LDS Theology] ) God does not accept these Dead works
"works of the flesh" everything outside the realm of that Belief even if it was a good work, which would be tuff to find in Samsons case. It will all burn

Understand that I completely agree that Samson was a screwed up fellow. His story is, in fact, a great story to share with a room full little tough guys locked up in a CYA facility. They identify with his weaknesses and are even surprised at his inclusion in the "Hall of Faith."
I am not sure I agree (emphasis on "not sure") about the "faith without works is dead" and, then including as "works," his works of the flesh. It appears that we ahve the conclusion. We just there there differently. Care to comment on your use of "works" and "works of the flesh?"

FAITH WITHOUT WORKS iis DEAD! Samsons' works were of the flesh, chasing after skirts, breaking his Nazarite vow. So how then could he be a hero? As Judy has pointed out by his FAITH, by his believing! He lived like a devil, but when it came down to it Samson believed God. That is what put him in Right relationship to God by His grace
Amen for the most part.
