So you say they are saved by works. But that is NOT what the Bible says. The Gospel of the Grace of Christ in Scripture declares that we are saved by grace WITHOUT OUR works, because of the perfect work of Christ upon whom God exhausted ALL his wrath, condemnation, and punishment for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2). IT IS FINISHED!!!
There IS an Unforgivable Sin
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
By one interpretation, this is Persistent Denial
of the Holy Spirit's Work in our hearts

A Christian that persistently denies the
work of the Holy Spirit is in Mortal Danger
No, I did not say that salvation is by works. You are confusing salvation with evidence of salvation.
Ye shall know them by their fruits (Mt 7:15-22). Homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom, and if you are telling them otherwise, you are helping to condemn them.
Repentance is not a “work”! It means that one “means it” when one commits one’s life to Jesus Christ.
“The Gospel of the Grace of Christ in Scripture declares that we are saved by grace WITHOUT OUR works”
So you believe that someone who is saved can be unrepentant in their sin??? Is grace and salvation transformative? Or can a person, now saved, continue on with their old sinful life as if nothing has changed, feeling no remorse?
What did JESUS say??
25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
30 So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[c]”
32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
