1Co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
I'm not entirely sure. On one hand there are plenty of verses that discuss who will not enter the Kingdom of God. But then Christ redeemed us for our sin. Of course good works do count for something it seems so obviously bad works would have the opposite effect. Perhaps it will be the way the Kingdom is set up, those that were false teachers will be exposed by Christ (fire) for what they were and they will have a lower position in the Kingdom. Not exactly sure really. But to think that any of the Israelites would be tortured for eternity would be the antithesis of redemption don't you think?
