Simple. It's not. Why? Because purposeful sin without heart felt repentance loses salvation.

Funny how you can't see that, not to be insulting. Why stick to salvation by works so vehemently, though? It only serves to exalt self. And true cross understanding does not exalt self. You say you deny salvation by works, but how is loving one another for salvation not salvation by works?

well, how is purposeful sin without heart felt repentance not losing salvation, by works? If i can't be saved by works, then it follows that i can't be lost by them either, doesn't it?
