"...Spiritual Dropouts[?]...​

Precious friends, have we [The Eternally Saved, By Christ] ever asked ourselves:

"... what will it be like for those who don’t receive any reward, who are saved,
yet so as by fire (1 Cor. 3:15)?...

...Unfaithfulness among Christians is a prominent theme in Paul’s letters...

... One commentator aptly...also adds: “The Christian’s warfare is not a charade
in which there are no defeats. The voyage of faith is not to be undertaken in the
naive notion that shipwreck is impossible for a true believer.”...

...so what about you?...

"... what will it be like for those who don’t receive any reward, who are saved,
yet so as by fire (1 Cor. 3:15)?...

This verse has been taken out of context and you've missed the true meaning. The error is this is not about practicing sinners being saved so as by fire. That is a scapegoat interpretation and a doctrine of demons producing apathy. IOW OSAS. Read the chapter. It is about those in ministry and their followers. Some will teach the truth, but others may teach a bit of inconsequential error and those teachings of error will be burned, but the minister will be saved so as by fire. James 3:1 Let not many of you become teachers, for you will receive a stricter judgment.

No, that is from the apathy towards sin that doctrines of demons produce.

Paul taught being dead to sin, and especially the difference that Jesus' righteous made over keeping the old letter of the laws to try to be righteous. One thing Paul was not and that was apathy towards sin.

It will be just like this: Matthew 7:21-23

1 Corinthians 3:10-15 KJV
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.

Paul laid the foundation, and another builds on it.

EVERY man is to take heed in how he builds. Every man's work will be tested.

You are building the body of Christ in what you do, and you are either using materials approved and lasting, or unapproved and unlasting.

So have a care!

Much love!
