Depends on what you mean by “works”.
Some people say, “Oh, I don’t have to worry about how I behave as a Christian, because that’s ‘works’. And salvation isn’t by works, so none of that matters.”
Or they say, “Oh, baptism is a work, and salvation isn’t by works, therefore baptism isn’t needed for salvation.” (Notice they don’t say that about believing, despite the fact that Jesus says believing is a work.)
If we want to be followers/disciples of the Lord, we want to understand what He teaches us through the Scriptures, don’t we?
Some people don’t seem very interested in finding out about those works which bring about forgiveness of sins, or those works which make faith fruitful, etc. They bend the Word to make it fit whatever they want or don’t want to do. Is that being a disciple?
A disciple submits to his Master, not the other way around, right?
