seriously you go off on tangents...
justification..... God judges your reponse "just" THAT IS IT! When you come before him to offer yourself in covenant/offering your heart must be "considered/reckoned" JUST to obtain citizenship in Christ. Thus if he asks you to be baptized to enter covenant which is to take upon Christ death unto newness of life which a covenant brings.... is that a work like God asked Abraham in
Gen 15 to...
Gen 15:9 He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."
is that works of ourselves?
