Ans. Notice that in 1 John 2:2828And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. (1 John 2:28) and in 2 John 88Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. (2 John 8), it is the teacher who is spoken of, and it is the teacher's loss that is spoken of. There will be so-called apostles put to shame before the Lord at His coming (2 Cor. 11:1313For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:13); Rev. 2:22I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: (Revelation 2:2)). There will be preachers (not Christians) that will be castaways (1 Cor. 9:2727But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. (1 Corinthians 9:27); 1 Cor. 3:1717If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (1 Corinthians 3:17)); as builders they will be utterly rejected. If these children did not abide in the Father and in the Son, it proved them to be false,-they were not Christians.
