You say that you agree works do not save out of one side of your mouth, but out of the other side of your mouth, I'm hearing something different. You are quoting a lot of the same verses that people who do teach salvation by works (like Roman Catholics, Mormons and SDA's) quote. You put a heavy emphasis, specifically on the words of Jesus in the 4 gospel account that involve keeping His commandments, works etc.. You don't seem to put very much emphasis on the writings of the apostle Paul, which is raising a red flag. Are you in involved in some type of Hebrew Roots movement?
It is very troublesome that many Christians have a problem with "a heavy emphasis, specifically on the words of Jesus"
Anyone who does not put HIS WORDS over all others is in rebellion against God, we have direct command to put Jesus words above all others:
Deuteronomy 18:18-19, " 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. 19 And
whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require (judge) it of him."
and Jesus agrees:
John 12:48, "He who rejects Me, and does not follow My words has One Who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same will be used to judge him in the last day."
as does Peter:
Acts 3:22-23, " 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’
I have been called all the thing you mentioned and more. No I am not any of those things, I believe in going off what authenticaed speakers of God say. Those that pass the test given from the mouth of God, many are in error because they do not use God measure. If you toss Jesus out for Paul, how can you follow Jesus? Let me guess you follow Jesus by not following Him but putting another in between you and Jesus?
John 10:27-30, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; neither will any man snatch them out of My hand. My Father, Who gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand: I and My Father are in accord."
1 Corinthians 4:15-16, “You may have 10,000 mentors who work for the Messiah, but
not many fathers (G3962 patér). For in the Messiah Jesus I have
begotten* you through the gospel. So I urge you to
imitate me.”
Matthew 23:9, “And
call no man your father (G3962 patér) on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.”
“*begotten 1 Corinthians 4:15-16” is word #G1080 gennaó: to beget, to bring forth, Original Word: γεννάω, Part of Speech: Verb, Transliteration: gennaó, Phonetic Spelling: (ghen-nah'-o), Short Definition: I beget, bring forth, give birth to, Definition: I beget (of the male), (of the female)

John 13:15, “For I (Jesus) gave you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.”
Philippians 3:17-18, “Join together in imitating me (Paul), brothers, and pay close attention to those who live by the example we have given you. For I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, that many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.”
1 Peter 2:21, “This is, in fact, what you were called to do, because Christ also suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in His steps.”
1 John 2:6, “The one who says that he abides in him must live the same way he (Jesus) himself lived.”
2 Timothy 1:13-15, "Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me (Paul), in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you. You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.”
John 12:48, “He who rejects Me, and does not follow My words has One Who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same will be used to judge him in the last day.”
