1 Corinthians 5

Why is there no mention of the man's soul?
Just Spirit and.body.
Did this man lose his salvation?
I've never gotten a clear understanding. Would someone help me understand this man's position in Christ.
Will he differ from us when Jesus comes for His bride?

The Bible doesn't explicitly teach one view over the other, and theologians have debated this for centuries. Both dichotomy (body and soul/spirit) and trichotomy (body, soul, and spirit) have scriptural support, with verses that seem to use "soul" and "spirit" interchangeably, and others that appear to distinguish them.

Because Paul is addressing this believers future bema seat appearance before Jesus. So this person may have a good appearance at the bema seat and not be ashamed of the life he lived.

Paul’s desire is that this man would respond well to church discipline so that his spirit would be healthy at the Judgment Seat of Christ”

Will Your Spirit Be Saved on the Day of Christ Jesus? – Grace Evangelical Society

The soul might be seen as that of us which still exists after death. There are a few bible passages that describe this condition and things like vision, perception, and memory are described. The Greeks used pneuma to describe the vital "breath" (warmed exhaled air) that indicated life and vitalizing energy.

God told Adam and Eve that the day they ate of the tree they would surely die. However, they didn't physically die until much later. The phrase in Hebrew as I understand it is "Dying ye shall surely die". There was some aspect of life that ended for Adam and Eve. It may have been that spiritual connection with God.

In Hebrews we are told that it is difficult to divide soul from spirit. It may be that our being placed in Christ allows us by his spirit to be resurrected in spiritual bodies.

1 Cor 5 >

Yes, here Paul says

"absent in body but present in spirit" > in 1 Corinthnians 5:3 >

He does not mention his own soul.

And later he talks about their being "along with my spirit", in 1 Corinthians 5:4.

And then Paul says to deliver the man "to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may one saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." (in 1 Corinthians 5:5).

So, here, there is no mention of saving the man's "soul".

But if the soul is spiritual, then it is reasonable that it is part of your spirit. My opinion is our soul is the realm of our spirit which experiences. It is the conscious part of our spirit. So, our soul includes the part of our spirit which can feel what is going on in our bodies. And our soul includes our spirit which is experiencing our connection with God in His love and sensing how God in us is leading us . . . "moving" us.

"But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him." (1 Corinthians 6:17)

The problem with that guy was he was seeking to experience the physical pleasure he could have with his father's wife. So, his spirit needed connection with God in God's almighty power and immunity against evil feelings and desires and preferences. By being "one spirit with Him", the man would more and more share with God in God's character of love. And this would affect his soul . . . with soul's experience of feelings and emotions and desires and preferences. In actual union with God, God would share with the man how Jesus is and loves. And his conscious spirit . . . his soul, in my opinion . . . would then experience how God is in His love > more and more as he grew in this.

Paul may also be consistent with the higher principles of the Lord of the need to be born again in the Holy Spirit which is spirit ( see John 3:5-8). I believe when it comes down to the individual level then our soul ( which is spiritual of course) comes into focus ( see also Hebrews 4:11-13).
