Hi Saxon.
Care to explain how all will be judged according to their works--AFTER death--and that for life or ****ation--and works play no part in salvation?
John 5:28-29--King James Version (KJV)
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of ****ation.
The Bible speaks of two resurrection, the resurrection of life, and the resurrection of ****ation. (See John 5:28-29) these are the resurrection of the saved and the lost. They take place at different times.

Which means he will be saved through the resurrection of all men, as to the spirit--but not unto eternal life. As Paul stated, if we follow that story:
1 Corinthians 5:5---King James Version (KJV)
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
1 Corinthians 5:13---King James Version (KJV)
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10---King James Version (KJV)
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Your quote of scripture is dividing the saved from the lost. Either you are saved and have a part in the first resurrection or you are lost and have part of the second resurrection. There is no other forms of more or lesser salvation. There is no support for you interpretation of 1 Corinthians 5:5. You are in error.

Saxon--Paul was not saying that fornicator would receive eternal life--but that his spirit would be saved--as all spirits will, through the resurrection. But not unto eternal life. Paul emphasized all men will be judged according to works--and listed the works that will condemn mankind:
Galatians 5:19-21---King James Version (KJV
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
2 Corinthians 5:10---King James Version (KJV)
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Galatians 6:7-9---King James Version (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Show me from the Bible where all spirits will, through the resurrection, be saved. If a person does not receive eternal life then all that person has to look to is the lake of fire. There are no other options.
