How does 1 Corinthians 6: 9-1, fit with free Grace salvation? It refutes it?

 How does (1 Corinthians 6: 9-11) fit with free Grace salvation? It refutes?

Dr. Andy Woods shares: This is one of the five Vice lists mentioned in the Bible. Basically what they say is if you're living such and such a way you're not going to inherit the Kingdom. 

The 1st Vice list, Galatians 5:19-21.
2nd Vice list, Ephesians 5:5.
3rd Vice List, Revelation 21:8.
4th Vice vice list, Revelation 22:15.
5th Vice List, 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11.

These verses are misinterpreted.

Using Grace Soteriology or Doctrine of Salvation, I would say, in all of these Vice lists, there's a switch in pronouns, where Paul switches from the believer with who he addresses as you, and he then, starts talking about the - they or the them, or the unbelievers who are living badly. Then he says, why would you live like them, because they're have a different Destiny than you, they will not enter the kingdom. Then he goes back to exhorting you. So there's a switch in all of these Vice lists from the second person addressing the Christian, to the third person addressing unbelievers, back to the second person addressing the Christian. So with all of these Vice lists, people really don't pay attention to the switch, from you to the they, or them, yet if you pay attention to that, you'll see very fast that these Vice lists are talking about unsaved and the Vice List just becomes an exhortation for the believer not to imitate the unbeliever. Paul is just making a simple point, that why would you imitate unbelievers in their lifestyle.
