What are you talking about? I'm showing you the obvious error of your mistake.
No. The thing that is being built is the building of God (1 Corinthians 3:9 NIV).
As the Bible itself describes, the foundation is Christ, then the Apostles and Prophets (?), then the rest of us (reference upon request). The workers in this building are fitting and setting blocks in place on this foundation. Some blocks simply do not belong there. They will be found out at the Judgment when all pass through the fire. The faithful, the genuine, will survive. The false, the perishable, those unable to pass through God's judgment, those made of wood, hay and stubble, will be purged from the kingdom (Matthew 13 or there abouts?).
The ones' who placed those perishable, disingenuous stones in place will not receive the reward of a non-perishable stone in the building of Christ. It doesn't affect their own salvation, but they have nothing to show for the effort of their work in the building of God's kingdom (1 Thessalonians 2:19 NASB). Thus the reason for Paul's desire for them to be shown the truth and built up into something that will be saved, not built up into something that will not be saved and not be a reward for him in the kingdom.
As you can see, this is not at all what the 'work' of 1 Corinthians 3 is. The work being referred to--Paul's and others work--is the Corinthians themselves:
"Are you (Corinthians) not my work in the Lord? " (1 Corinthians 9:1 NASB)
I love this stuff, but don't have as much time to devote to it as I want. Chiming in as I can....
I MADE NO MISTAKE, but you seemed to admit yours? do you now change your view again?
Help me know what my view was and what I am changing it to now.
But anyway...
As I've been saying, the 'work' in 1 Corinthians 3 is the Corinthians themselves--the so-called Body and building of Christ. Just as anybody's work in a field or a building (1 Corinthians 3:9 NASB)
is the field and the building itself, not the person who did the work. So Paul's work,
as even he himself says, is the Corinthians, not himself! That doesn't even make sense. When one's work is tested
you go to the work you have done, not to the person who did it!
The labor Paul and others are performing is placing living stones into the Body and household of Christ:
"5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:5 NASB)
19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit." (Ephesians 2:19-22 NASB)
Paul is doing this work of building the building of God among the Corinthians. Placing each of the Corinthians on the foundation of Christ, the Apostles, and the Prophets. But if he is teaching a false gospel to them (which he is being accused of doing by them) what reward will be his for building them up into something in the body and building of Christ that doesn't really belong there
and will be burned up at the Judgment when everything false will be purged by fire from the kingdom of God (Matthew 13:49-50 NASB)?
So you see this is not a proof text that one can be fruitless because of unbelief (whether you ever believed, or not) and still be saved, but rather this is a text to show that false 'stones' built into the kingdom of God in this age (which are really just hay and stubble and wood) will be burned up because they are not made of the imperishable--that which can survive the fires of the Judgment to come.
Paul warns us that it is important that workers in the field and building of God build people up into that which really can survive the judgment. False gospels, like 'you can be fruitless because of unbelief and still be saved', can not and will not build a person up into a planting in the field of God, or a stone in the building of Christ that will survive the fires of the Judgment to come.
George Muller said:
So the truth of the building IS CHRIST, and no mans work can be established upon His foundations unless He works that work in and through His Grace working through those who are to build upon His foundations. All of mans efforts and religious works are rejected and burned away for they are as "dung" before the Lord God and ONLY THAT which is wrought through the Spirit of God is acceptable and eternal.
1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 ¶ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
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.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
This is pretty basic biblical knowledge, edited
It is simple Bible, but it has been unrightly divided from the rest of the Bible to mean something in the church that it is not, so that now the only thing 'simple' about what is taught is it is 'simply' not what Paul was trying to say. Worst of all this twist on the passage is used to defend the false and damnable teaching--one which can not build someone up into that which will survive the fires of the Judgment--that fruitless soil, and thorns and thickets will inherit the kingdom.
