I think I understand what Jerry is saying. You cannot depend on works, or even Christ plus works, for salvation because then your faith is not fully in Christ.
But it does raise a question in my mind: Can a person truely accept Christ as Savior, then not be properly discipled or study the Word, and end up in a church that teaches false doctrine and end up believing that baptism, or whatever, is neccessary? I've wondered the same thing about people who believe you can lose your salvation because it seems to me they're saying Christ's sacrifice isn't perfect.
Isn't Paul speaking to true believers here:

Galatians 3:2-3 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
