Yes, any work under the law of Moses. They were dealing with men trying to force circumcision. Paul in 4:21- he gives an analogy of those under law and those under grace.

I appreciate all the effort you have put in your replies. First let me explain my current understanding, maybe that will help some. Our works cannot/do not save us but we are not saved without works. No amount of works can save us therefore we are only saved by the grace of God. You are...

That's how I see it. Works done in Christ.

Isn't obeying a command a work?

- I'm sorry but that answer doesn't tell us how. The resurrection is what we benefit from our appeal. According to the bible how do we appeal to God for a good conscience? Do we imagine it in our minds, do we pray the sinners prayer, do we ________.

If we take out the parenthetical expression, this is how the verse reads. Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Baptism does save us by the resurrection of Christ. If we read Romans 6, we see why. 5 For if we have become united with Him in...

All I'm asking is how does one appeal to God for a good conscience? According to the bible.

So HOW does one make an appeal to God for a good conscience? Sinners prayer? Ask Jesus into your heart?

Faith that has no works is dead. Faith that works is faith made complete. In Galatians 2 Paul is talking about a specific set of works. 16 nevertheless, knowing that a person is not justified by works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, He's talking about the law of Moses and...

I agree with Eph. 2:8-9. Our understanding of those verses have to be in agreement with the rest of the scriptures. Faith is sufficient but what does it mean to have faith that is sufficient. 22 You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected...

I agree faith always proceeds works. We are on the same page at this point. As for baptism, it's not an outward showing of an inward change as some claim. It's how: -we are added to Christ 41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three...

The operation is believe and be baptized and then be added. Who added them is a good question. This verse doesn't tell us but a few verses later does. 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

Eph 1 is talking about being in Christ. What did the Ephesians do to get into Christ. Let's look at baptized WITH the HS. Jn. 1:33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with...

Baptized with the HS only happened twice and each was a specific special situation. That is not baptism of the HS that I'm told happens to everyone.

Absolutely, I agree with this! But you didn't address the failed continued action resulting in lose of salvation. Here is another example. God called Moses to lead the Israelites. On his way to Egypt, God is going to kill him because he is not in covenant relationship with God. If his...

No one told us of a "spiritual baptism" What John the baptist was talking about only happened twice and it was for special specific reasons.

You have salvation too early. Yes, Noah found grace but it was through his faith in building the ark that his faith was made complete. Noah wouldn't have been saved if HE didn't build the ark. Faith that has works. Looking at your examples, everyone of them did something.

He's talking about the old law. until the time of reformation. But when Christ appeared as a high priest How does one make an appeal to God for a clear conscience?
