I see that you exhibit a classic misunderstanding of Lutheran beliefs. Works are a result of a faith that is alive; how can one embrace the scriptures and not bring forth it's fruits? That said, I am not dependant on my works for my salvation. As someone else said here, how can I hold up my filthy rags (works) to the righteousness of Christ?

[Joseph44]

There are too many references in Scripture about the necessity of good works.
