1Co 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
1Co 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
1Co 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

From G1 (as a negative particle) and G1384; unapproved, that is, rejected; by implication worthless (literally or morally): - castaway, rejected, reprobate.
This is the definition of castaway that Paul said would be his position if he did not keep under his body,and bring it in to subjection,which he is obviously talking of keeping his body in check,and cease it from sinning,and if he did not he would be a castaway,rejected,worthless,and reprobate,which does not sound good,and sounds like eternal consequences,not oops I did not get that crown.
And also is states every man must strive so I believe that uncorruptible crown would have to be given unto all the saints,for how can the corruptible one be given them,and then say it has nothing to do with my salvation,and how can they not receive the uncorruptible crown,and be saved,for of course all the saints receiving salvation would be uncorrupted,for there is no corruption with them,so they all receive that crown.
2Ti 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
The crown of righteousness is given to all the saints,for would not all the saints love His appearing.
Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
The crown of life is given to all the saints,for would not all the saints love Jesus.
Also notice that it states blessed is the man that endures temptation,for when he is tried,he shall receive the crown of life,which obviously,without a doubt,means,blessed is the person that endures temptation,and beats temptation and does not sin,they shall receive the crown of life.
It sure cannot mean if you are tempted you shall receive the crown of life,regardless if you beat the temptation or not,for everybody gets tempted,even the world,but it means when you are tempted,and you endure it,you put up with it,you do not give in to it,and you beat it,and do not sin,those are the people that shall receive the crown of life,not as a prize,or gift,but is given to all who love Jesus,and do not all the saints love Jesus,for it is obvious that to love Jesus is to endure temptation,and do not sin.
You do not abstain from sin,and hold unto sin thinking it does not affect your relationship with Christ,you will not receive the crown of life,which is not a prize,or gift,for certain saints,but eternal life,for it is given to all the saints that love Christ,and you cannot have eternal life unless you love Christ.
Are some going to be in heaven,and they did not receive the crown of life,and some did,for it is a prize,or a gift,as some say,but not eternal life,for those that receive the crown of life love Jesus,and would there be some there with Jesus that did not receive the crown of life that do not love Jesus,but are still saved.
The crown of life is eternal life given to all those who love the Lord,and you cannot get that crown of life unless you endure temptation,and beat it,and do not sin,for those who think sin does not affect their relationship with Christ,for there is more than one way to look at it in scriptures that states,abstain from sin,since they do not want to believe the obvious,plain as day,all up in your face,a Spirit led life will abstain from sin.
They try to take away everything that has the possibility of putting pressure on them,discomfort,the possibility that they might not make it to heaven,do not have to abstain from sin to be right with Christ,do not have to do works,no responsibility,for if there is the remote possibility that they have an inkling of a choice in the matter of salvation,or responsibility,they go against it like a school of piranha and rip it to shreds.
God said He wants all people to repent,come to the truth,and be saved,and He is the Savior of all men,and Jesus lights every person that comes in to this world,and the Spirit and bride say,anyone that wants that salvation can have it.
But they say Nay,but God chooses who will be saved,and not saved.
God had the plan to give mankind salvation before He laid down the foundation of the world,so it is the same as if the saints have that salvation in the beginning,and that salvation is to whoever wants it,like the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world,and the prophets blood shed from the foundation of the world,but they were future events,and did not actually happen in the beginning.
Faith alone,not saved by works,when we initially confess Christ,for we are in the flesh,and that is all we can do is have faith,and our works do not measure up.
A person is justified by works and not faith alone,after they receive the Spirit,for we are then spiritual,and the responsibility falls on us,and these are not works of the flesh,but the Spirit.
Many are called but few are chosen,so God does the calling and choosing on earth,for if God chose who would be saved,and not saved,in the beginning,then all that He called would be chosen,and if God chose who will not be saved,why is He calling people that cannot be saved,for many are called but few chosen,so a lot that are called are not chosen,so why is God calling them if they cannot be chosen.
It is obvious that we have a choice,and God calls many but not all of them make it to be chosen.God calls us,works with us to get us to the truth,but we have to decide to open the door.
God does the calling and choosing on earth,for He wants all people to repent,come to the truth,and be saved,and He is the Savior of all men,and the Spirit,and the bride,say Come,and all can have that salvation,but if they say God chooses who will be saved,and not saved,then how can they be part of the bride when they say not everybody can have that salvation,for the choice is already made for them.
