Eph. 2:8

[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

I know you don't mean to boast but true Christianity is not about “good works”.

It's Mormon beliefs that are not Biblically compatible, hence the Bible was rewritten to be that of another religion. The Book of Mormon - Another Testament of Jesus Christ is the problem. The Book of Mormon is that of another gospel.

In all due respect what does forgiveness and Love thy neightbor, have to do with your reply?

Definitions have been assinged to the LDS by those who wish to marginalized the LDS.

I think there is a mix up in the meaning of words to be Christ like and the understanding of the word "work" which when done properly is doing in the Spirit of the Lord is being his ears and arms and legs on earth, helping to lift another.

Charity never faileth

Grace stands alone yet when we read these lessons can one lose their blessing and fall from grace?

Matt 18
23 ¶ Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
