1 Corinthians 11:32

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

'when we are judged' -the judgements of verse 30 are not designed to result in their eternal loss; but rather are to be viewed as "discipline" from God, with the hope that these Christians will "wake up" and escape eternal ruin.

'chastened of the Lord' -'he is discipling us' (NEB) (Hebrews 12:7)

'that we may not be' -note the 'may not'. This is the hope behind such discipline. But the individual Christian must decide if they will respond or not. (Hebrews 12:5)

'condemned with the world' -

Points to Note:

1. God won't save everyone. Paul didn't see any hope for unbelievers that refuse to repent. (2 Thessalonians 1:7) Neither did Jesus. (Mark 16:16; John 3:17)

2. Again, we are faced with the reality that Christians can lose their salvation.

3. Every Christian doesn't profit from the "chastening" that God brings upon him or her. Again, the choice to profit from such discipline or ignore it is left up to the choice of the individual (James 1:2). Hence, if we end up lost, we made that choice, not God. (2 Peter 3:9)
