Once saved, always saved?

[Sword_Brethren]

I read this quote from an MSNBC article about the man you killed some people in a gym last week. He had once gone to a Church that is “nondenominational and focuses on Bible study and teaching.”
The Deacon, Jack Rickard of that church stated he believes Sodini {the murder}is in heaven. “We believe in permanent security — once saved, always saved,” Rickard said. “He will be judged, but he will be in heaven. … He’ll be in heaven, but he won’t have any rewards because he did evil.”

I wonder what rewards the pastor is talking about. And why does he feel that he is the one who decides who is saved and if they are saved, what “rewards” they will get?

Seems arrogant and presumptuous.
