This is what Paul taught concerning Christians ... not the unsaved who will stand to be judged according to their lack of Him in them, these were Christians to whom Paul wrot e the following in his first letter to the Corinthian Believers:

I Cor 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; [Notice that Paul is here speaking of what is placed upon the foundation which is Salvation in Christ; what Paul is about to describe if the rewards review for the saved, not the great throne of Judgment]

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. [The fire burns up that which lacks the image of Christ in it, yet the believers shall be saved even as the metaphor of fire burning off the dross in an ore sample of Silver, leaving just the pure.]

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? [God does not place Himself for judgment, so that which is the Temple of the Living God is not to be judged at the Great White Throne from whence hell will be the destiny of some in creation. ]
