The real point of salvation is not a discussion on whether it is of works or faith. The real point is this. If your really a born again spirit filled believer there is no debate about salvation, whether you are to be baptised, live righteously, or so on.
I'm the kind of person that believes it is a free gift of God and the works part isn't the acting on things by faith to receive it. I believe it is the part that you or no one else will ever live up to, that you should deserve it.
Unless someone wants to make themselves equal with the sufferings of Christ.
