Your beef is not with Lamar but with James.
It is a good sign that this rebuke stings, it is a indication that your heart may still be soft enough to repent of the foolishness of faith alone theology.
James is not calling you a fool.
He is calling the notion of believing faith without deeds being biblical as foolish.

Lamar
stop being foolish
Having begun in the spirit. now being perfected in the flesh (works)
Gal 3 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?
Again, If you all want to save yourself by works of the flesh (water baptism) feel free.
do not let us stop you
But heed the warnings because there will come a time when it will be too late

But that's the thing, I'm not troubled by works. They are to be expected of someone who has become a new creation. I just don't have people doing things they don't believe.
And you are the 2nd person to defend unrighteousness behavior. That is your work. You don't believe his actions were sinful. Do you suppose @Lamar was loving me and attempting to edify me with his post?

The problem with that approach is that Peter, at Pentecost, did not tell the crowd to repent, then make a choice whether to be baptized.
They asked the question... "men and brethren, what must we do?"
Peter's answer..... "repent and be baptized...." no choice offered or suggested.
It's not a choice.... it's obedience to God's will....
