Quick Answer
No. He separates justification by faith from obedience as a faithful response.

Detailed Biblical Study
The Teaching repeatedly says that obedience cannot secure initial salvation. The distinction is between relying on works for justification and learning to follow Yah’s instructions after coming to faith.

“Christ Plus Nothing” examines the difference between receiving salvation by faith and living as a disciple afterward. The speaker affirms that a person does not need to become Torah-observant before coming to faith in Yeshua, but challenges the use of the slogan to portray obedience, repentance, or discipleship as additions to Messiah’s saving work. Drawing on Acts 15, Matthew 7 and 28, John 14, James 2, and the Hebrew Scriptures, the Teaching argues that genuine faith leads to growth and obedience. The discussion also explores how the Torah and Prophets illuminate the Messiah and concludes with a call to share biblical convictions graciously.
