So it appears you do consider good works to be necessary?

Necessary for what, EB? Are we given eternal life because we do good works or because we believe in God's only begotten son? Let's see if you can understand what Paul was teaching here:

For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:8-10)

Of course he doesn’t understand; when I quoted that to him many threads ago, he said that only heretics believe that.

When I quoted him on this thread, he went on about heretics.

He’s refused to answer over and over just a plain yes or no about whether he believes it.

So that leads me to think that no, he doesn’t.
