Because I don't believe that there is anything that I can do to earn my salvation, nor lose my salvation. My salvation is dependent upon Christ alone.
Amen!
"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God" -- 2 Corinthians 3:5
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." -- Hebrews 12:1-2

There we disagree, I think, but then again, I never know what salvation means from one Protestant to the next. How do you define the word, Blogger?
Your salvation begins with repentance and ends with God's mercy. But I am beginning to believe Protestants consider even repentance "works-based salvation." Humility seems to offend them.
