My view....1st Corinthians 3 for the saved....works tested by fire.... faithful works-->gold, silver and precious stones, unfaithful or not as faithful--->wood, hay and stubble<---BOTH SAVED
LOST---->Great White Throne--->Works judged by the LAW--->afforded levels of punishment based upon said works....ALL the LOST

We can either walk in the light of the Truth and trust that we have died with Christ (thus ending the law's hold on us) and that Jesus finished wirk on the cross is all than will ever be needed to make us righteous thus submitting to God OR we can go about trying to make ourselves righteous through works and thus NOT obey God. Can't do both.
Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Either we put down our pride and ego and believe we are who God says we are or we go by what we "think" we are....trusting God's Word when all the evidence points to something else is called faith.
1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Again, the gospel Jesus gave paul is one of grace and faith yet we as humans find it so difficult to trust in what we can't see that so many miss the simple, loving message of my Lord and Savior Jesus. He did it all on the cross because we could never, ever accomplish what is required in and of ourselves. To say we must somehow do this or not do that to stay or get saved is the height of arrogance. In effect when one does that they say they are more powerful than God....
