He who truly believes will obey Jesus and be baptized. Yes, faith is necessary but nowhere in the Bible does it say faith alone. For all the claim of sola scriptura, Protestant theology of sola fides is based on human rationalization, not on the Bible.

>>Yes, faith is necessary but nowhere in the Bible does it say faith alone.<<

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Gallatians 2:16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.
