Can people please expand their thoughts on the following
1 Corinthians 3:9-15
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
So does it apply to works or to what we teach?
Every post on here containing verses and an explanation is teaching.
So what is it?
If we teach crap yet as a result we are saved does it seem fair that those who walk the Christian life in that way would not be saved.

Food for Thought.
In the book of Revelation there are Seven Letters to Seven DIFFERENT CHURCHES. HE RECOGNIZED all Seven were getting some Saved. Some More than Others. In fact I believe all Seven can be found today, when you look at their Characteristics. Seven Churches will not be necessarily along Denominational Barriers. You can have all seven represented in one denomination, as well as those that one denomination is LIKE characteristics of ONE type of Church. Usually what ever Type is represenative of their Pastor, so will the majority of his congregation be. But either way, all Seven Belong to Christ, even though so some have doctrinal errors, but I believe all teach the Trinity and CHRIST RIGHT. Remember HE had condemnation comments on 5 of the 7 Churches. We Christians are FAMOUS for Majoring on the Minor THINGS.
FOR EXAMPLE: I used to belong to one Church that had Foot Washing Ordinance on one Sunday Evening a month. I Thought it was SILLY to make it into an Ordinance, because I never thought it was supposed to be an ORDINANCE. So I did not go during that Foot Washing Service, because according to MY understanding, is that IT WAS A NECESSITY, normally to assigned to a Servant. Because after walking down Dirt Roads, all day, their FEET were Extremely Dirty, and when you are wanting to RECLINE on Cushions at the Supper Table, you did not want someone next to you with Dirty feet. So the reason JESUS wanted to wash their FEET was for an example, that when we are Ministering to Others, we should be willing to take the Role of a Servant. So I do not think having Washing Feet as a Church Ordinance was the Proper Interpretation of what JESUS DID THAT NIGHT. No, I never did tell anyone my opinion, I just chose to stay at home that particular night. I will say, that Church was one of the Best Bible Teaching Church, and Christians fellowshiping like they should, that I have ever been involved with.
