What are the biblical arguments that if you sin you lose your salvation as soon as you sin?

I consider the grace of the Holy Spirit as an enablement to be blameless in holiness when we detach from the body and be saved (not to sin and still being blameless). I believe that when someone sins he loses salvation. I don't want to argue about *sola fide* and things like that, I'm Protestant, but Pentecostal and I follow the doctrine of the Holy Spirit (total separation from distractions that keep us away from God even though it's not written in the bible). I'd like to know some arguments to defend my idea; those below are the ones I know so far:
- Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. (James 1:15)
- Paul apostle advised us to become blameless on holiness as a requirement to be saved:
"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Thessalonians 5:23)
- "Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky." (Philippians 2:14-15). This leads us to understand that this church was in the sin of dissension and would have to repent to become blameless.
- Salvation by grace in Ephesians 2:8 implies that we receive the Holy Spirit by grace and enable us to do good works to be holy when the Lord asks our soul. This seems clean by the verse below:
"He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit." (Titus 3:5). The first salvation through baptism and a power of the Holy Spirit, however often we may lose our salvation sometimes, to enable us to live a life which is in short blameless in holiness to give us a saving confidence in the final judgment where everyone is judged (not just rewarded) for their works at Revelation 20:12.
I know this sounds like a doctrine of salvation only by works, but it is the grace of the Holy Spirit that enables us for these works. I would like to know if there are more biblical arguments for this and if this branch has a name (in my country there is this name I mentioned, but I believe it is not formalized in theology).
