I think baptisim is a work, but only by faith does it make it true. Otherwise is a glorified bath. I guess I should have put it like this, "Yes faith without works is dead, but works does not mean it ALL is salvational, IMO."
I believe that a person is saved at repentance, but I do believe it is more of a journey than anything. Starts at repentance and goes on the baptisim and then to HGB. I believe that God will take genuine people to heaven if they have accepted Him into their life. But God knows the heart and we do not. He is the only one that can put people in heaven or keep them out.
