It is possible to have a saved soul and a lost life.

Will it be the judgment seat that will determine those who will or will not reign with Christ during the Millennium?  I do believe rewards will determine our place of service in that Kingdom.

10. 2 Timothy 2:15 some will have shame.

 It is my opinion,some who have compromised truth now for present advantage have done so for future shame.
