No charge at the door, church promises.

"Hate the sin; love the sinner" only applies to those trying to overcome their sin; not the ones comfortable with, and consciously/deliberately practicing, their sin.

Disagree solitas.

We have to love the sinner even if they are unrepentant. God still loves them after all. However that does not mean that we are to accept them or their sin until they do repent.

Sometimes true love results in delivering someone to satan to be tormented until they repent, or if they are already saved, delivering them to satan for the destruction of the flesh so the spirit can be saved.

And unfortunately, sometimes true love results in praying that God will prevent them from dragging others into hell with them, even if He has to kill them to accomplish that.

God loves each and every one of us. Even those who will be cast into the lake of fire. But that love will not stop His justice from being served. You either accept Jesus death as payment for your sins or you suffer the entire penalty of the law. Get saved or die eternally. There's no other choices allowed to us to choose, or to God to dispense.
