Beleiving faith alone can save you is heresy. The Bible tells us that faith without works is dead, and that you but be baptised and beleive (have faith) to be saved.

That's not the same as saying that faith alone doesn't save you. The bible doesn't say you have to be baptised to be saved.

"Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5).

Footnote: "Unless a man be born again"... By these words our Saviour hath declared the necessity of baptism; and by the word water it is evident that the application of it is necessary with the words. Matt. 28. 19.

Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Jam 2:14 ¶ What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?


Jam 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,


Jam 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?


Jam 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.


Jam 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
