Likewise for sure. Billy is going to decide that the Gospel is true and he believes in Christ. Billy goes to a local church and goes down to the front of the church and kneels and talks with the minster and explains he wants to give his life to Christ and the preacher and him have a good talk...

I am ok with you believing that is all you need to know...ok What should we do with all the other things Christ said. I consider these two commandments, although commandments an overall concept of the rest of His teachings.

works of righteousness is what?

Hence the thread on "We are not saved by works" but is it as simple as that.
