In II Timothy 2:14-20, the Apostle Paul gives five characteristics of those in the Body of Christ who are "approved workers". When believers stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ, there will be only two types of people there: workers who are approved and workers who are not approved. Those who are "not approved" do not lose their salvation......but they lose their rewards when they stand before Christ. They will have a SAVED soul and a LOST life.
