1 Corinthians 3:12-15
New International Version (NIV)
12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
12 若有人用金、银、宝石、草、木、禾秸在这根基上建造， 13 各人的工程必然显露；因为那日子要将它表明出来，有火发现，这火要试验各人的工程怎样。 14 人在那根基上所建造的工程若存得住，他就要得赏赐； 15 人的工程若被烧了，他就要受亏损，自己却要得救，虽然得救，乃像从火里经过的一样。

Malachi 3:2-3
New International Version (NIV)
2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness,
2 “他来的日子，谁能当得起呢？他显现的时候，谁能立得住呢？因为他如炼金之人的火，如漂布之人的碱。 3 他必坐下如炼净银子的，必洁净利未人，熬炼他们像金银一样，他们就凭公义献供物给耶和华。
The fire and burning is just a metaphor to show the severity of the trials.

24/10/13 And seriously what's with the "multiplying [me]"??!! seriously. If that's what you think "multiplying [me]" is having the same habits, having long hair or short hair, having the same abilities etc., wouldn't it be trying to clone? Seriously, I even heard "to imitate me in looks etc.", thank God once again that I happen to be the type that is a little unpredictable in physical appearance in the sense that I don't really care about my looks. The skincare etc.'s juz to reduce the naggings, and at times are for fun. It really make me take a little time off to just do nothing.
And that's being said, the multiplying of 'Christ' (whether there are ppl who misunderstood who Christ is--refer to the new testament or apostle's creed--, or misunderstood what it meant to be Christlike) biblically to be Christlike is

"Believers are to become Christlike
1Co 11:1; Php 2:5 Paul is arguing that believers must allow God to make them Christlike, which is the natural goal of their process of growing in faith. Christlikeness is not achieved by people merely trying to imitate Jesus Christ, but by God making believers more like his Son in sanctification, through the Spirit. See also Jn 13:15; Ro 8:29; Eph 4:11-13; Php 3:8-11,20-21; 1Jn 2:6"Quotation from http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/dictionary-of-bible-themes/8206-Christlikeness

Haiz, that was why I said to stop spreading those misunderstandings of the biblical verse, especially when claiming to be me. All lies will be exposed soon or later, as ultimately His Words will prevail. Though at times it seemed as though it wouldn't be exposed for it's been a long time, but still He has His own timings and plans.
