Do sacrifices, repentance, baptism, church membership, or good works save us?

Les explains that sacrifices from the Jewish economy, repentance, baptism, church membership, and good works are not what saves us. He says these are not the means of salvation; rather, they are part of salvation's reward or result. He quotes, “For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves... it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.” Les notes this flies in the face of works, and millions or billions still hope to make it by their works. Adding works to faith makes it worthless. He then returns to Ephesians 3, where Paul is a prisoner and bond slave on behalf of the Gentiles, and speaks of the dispensation or administration of the grace of God—not law, not works, not legalism—given to Paul and then to the Gentiles.
