Isn’t that what it means when it says that our works will be tested by fire? Isn’t that sort of like a penalty box? You sit there until the works have been tested, and if you fail, you suffer and are cleansed by the fire.

Why is it that you guys can insert your own words right next God's Holy words and then claim that God agrees with your version of His scripture???

There is no penalty box...As we pass thru, the bad works get burned up...

We are not cleansed by a fire...We do not ourselves suffer and we are saved by the fire that burns up the bad works...

1Co 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Co 3:13 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.
1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Your really think the Spirit of God is going to sit in a jail in purgatory waiting for your relatives to buy him out of jail???
