I do agree that obedience is important and that we have no free ticket to sin and do as we please but as for it being a by product of salvation I can understand how that may be true. I mean it's not just obedience but also the heart behind the obedience a changed heart that has been born again will obey not because it's mandatory but because they want to that is the flow of the holy spirit he changes our hearts to not just obey but to find joy and in doing so and not doing it because we have to but we very much desire to. A heart that has not received the holy spirit and has not been born again can obey but will not do so for the same reason of that of a changed heart and the results will also be very different.
There is only way to salvation and that is through the blood and sacrifice of Jesus, we cannot obey and be saved because only a changed heart and born again believer can truly obey to begin with.
however some go so far as to think obedience is not so important and that we can simply do as we please completely disregarding the commandments and what we are taught by Jesus himself to do and be.
