Which is exactly why I said that salvation by works is not saying baptism is not necessary for salvation. Perhaps it is notofworks who needs to hear this more than anyone else here. He has been insisting I preach salvation by works and that we earn salvation and improve ourselves.
But that is very point i was making in saying Jesus claimed faith was a work. It is ridiculous to say something that is a work necessarily falls under the category of salvation by works.
But what exactly are you referring to in my posts when you repeat the idea of words and meanings. You are not quoting anything specifically that I said, but are just pointing these statements of yours at me. The reason I say this is because your very reasoning quoted above is the basis for my claim that baptism is not salvation by works.
