So what you are saying , that the Jews are to be"going into all the world" and the rest of us "baptised, believing" Christians are just here to take up space. No thanks.

I agree with the verses you chose to pull out of 1 Cor. and Eph. But I no more discount James in my Bible as I would Paul who said MUCH about "works" if that is the chosen term.

(1 Cor 6:9 KJV) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

(1 Cor 6:10 KJV) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

(1 Cor 6:11 KJV) And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

(1 Cor 6:12 KJV) All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

(1 Cor 6:13 KJV) Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

(1 Cor 6:14 KJV) And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

(1 Cor 6:15 KJV) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

(1 Cor 6:16 KJV) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

(1 Cor 6:17 KJV) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

(1 Cor 6:18 KJV) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

(1 Cor 6:19 KJV) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

(1 Cor 6:20 KJV) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Just as a small example. Paul knew there was more to "being" reconciled than just saying that Jesus is Lord, as even the demons knew that.

I certainly am not telling anyone that works will save you, but a fig tree will bear figs or it is no good and will be uprooted.
