William, yes we will be judged for our works but that has nothing to do with my salvation. Once saved always saved. The judgment for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will be for the gain or loss of rewards in heaven, of which all will be placed at the feet of our Savior. If I'm misunderstanding you I apologize but "my faith stands on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness." Have a great day sir.

Robert. Are you a Baptist? Yes, once saved always saved. That salvation you presently possess is unforfeitable. The issue is the "rights of primogeniture", the right to rule and reign with Christ from His throne in that day, the 7th Day yet ahead. THAT right is forfeitable however. And when appearing at the Judgment Seat of Christ your works will be judged, your WORK required to obtain clean hands and a pure heart. All Christians are in a race.....that participation is not optional. In every race there are winners and losers. The "mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" is not free.....it is earned, as in any race. You are mired n the traditions of some church somewhere. You stand in your own way every day. Asking the right questions gets you correct answers. Break out of your religious straight jacket Robert. The life of your soul depends upon it. The life of your soul is at risk. THAT is "life for the age"........and "age-during life" has nothing to do with eternal life....which concerns the life of your spirit. Paul made these distinctions after learning about the Kingdom of the Heavens directly from having spent 3 years in the Arabian desert alone with Christ. Paul's Gospel, the Gospel of the Glory is very distinct from the Gospel of Grace. Learn it. It is not difficult.
