Deardelmar,
OK.
No. I think you're dead on. The Greek words here are similar, so apparently they've got the same thing in mind. Looks like I've got some mulling over to do.
Gee, I really suck at debate.

The crowd is following Jesus around looking for more miracles. The disciples, caught up in the moment, are asking How do we do these "mighty works"? Jesus responds with what is really important. "Believe in me." His point does not appear to be that believing is a work, but rather that believing is far more important than signs and wonders.
OK.
Do you agree that in Romans 4:5 Paul is sayig that believing is not a work or do you think I am missreading it.
Romans 4:5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
