Why Pentecostals misunderstand Scripture, they see it in a different way. See their doctrines like that of tongues and new prophecies and revelations not yet closed for them. Same thing as Catholics and Jehovah's Witnesses, the former believe in the Marian apparitions and the new prophecies he gives, the latter to the prophecies of the watchtower and their presidents, and the Pentecostals to the prophecies that put their shepherds in a trance during worship! The belief in the loss of salvation is typical of Catholics, of the JWs and Pentecostals. When instead the Scripture speaks of divine grace, a divine gift (once received faith is not lost, you can certainly have falls, but they will "return to the fold" as God's elect) it is not lost. It is as if God said "I give you this gift, but as soon as you misbehave I'll take it back!”. What a gift that would be? Virtually all of these support salvation by works, that is, the salvation that must be earned with any of our behavior or thoughts.
But the Scripture says
“In fact, it is by grace that you have been saved, by fede; and that not of yourselves:; it is the GIFT OF GOD. It is not by works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
