Sorry. We've already proved that faith is a "works". And since you deny works as necessary, then we gotta eliminate this scripture as applicable.

hmmm, no... you are wrong.
You see, Baptism is a work of the hands and body, like making something. The Pharisees were legalistic in their interpretation of working on the Sabbath and did nothing, yet they walked everywhere.. walking would be a works too by your definition. Jesus rebuked them for their action on the letter of the law and not the spirit of the law.
Of course, having to SAY something is a work, yet all can do it - but it is clear Salvation is for everyone free of charge, the only thing you need to do it get it... if that be the works involve, it is the only thing you need to do.
So... Baptize all you want, I am not against it. I am against the lie that you have to be baptized to be saved.. are you washed in the blood, or just rinsed in a bathtub?
