You very well explained the Judgement Seat of Christ, but what is the White Throne Judgement and who is it for?

[@eddiep.3035]

Judgement seat of Christ is for the Christian. Great white throne is for everyone else. 1 Corinthians 3:13-15 13Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Only people in heaven will receive rewards so this is the judgement seat of Christ. You see that it says your bad works will be burned but you will remain saved. If this is for everyone, then that means everyone is saved. That’s universalism and heretical. “Bema seat” is where in ancient times a sports contender would stand before a judge and receive rewards. Great white throne judgement is after the millennial reign where the book of life is opened. Everyone else is judged.

I love your channel and how you answer the questions. This reply today has me asking a followup question. If we all appear before the judgement seat on the last day, those that refused God go to hell, where are they now? I think I heard a teaching that hates is separate from hell and they're there now, then cast into hell? And the believers, are their souls already in heaven prior to judgement day? Thank you Dr. Betters.

The unbelievers are in hell now, the Final judgment AFztER the 1,000 yr reign by Jesus ( a new heaven & earth) IS when Final Judgment ( Great White Throne) are judged by their gravity of sin & thrown in the Lake of Fire, along with Satan & his angels, this is referred to as the Second death, forever & ever. I hope this answers your question, God bless. Yes, those who die and are believers ( saved by the grace of God), their soul goes immediately to be with God ✝️💜♥️💜♥️💜

[@bdpilot28]

Yes! Its called the great white throne judgment! The day of rewards or punishment.

[@angelahighwolf]

The "Bema" seat is a judgment for those saved, but not for sin, but for rewards for service on earth. Their works does not get them to Heaven, but they are given treasures, a crown, etc for their service. The Great White Thrown of Judgment, when all the dead are judged from the sea, and Hell, is after the Millennial Kingdom when Satan is thrown in the Lake of Fire. Saved people are not judged at that time as their sin has been washed away by the blood of Christ.

[@reg8297]

It says in the bible we do but noone can know until we're dead whats going to occur noone can anser that

[@truckerray7533]

The Bible plainly says that EVERY knee shall bow, EVERY tongue confess, that Jesus Christ IS Lord. . . . whether you bow & confess here on earth as a believer or die as non believer & stand before judgment. . . . .you will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!!!

[@MarcusCollins69]

no i won't

[@madambutterfly7513]

Judgment seat of Christ is for believers, their salvation is not in question. For the UNbeliever, the Great White Throne judgment is for them. They have already been in hell, but this final judgement, they will be judged & punished accordingly by the gravity of their sins, not everyone gets the same degree of punishment. The Bible points out there are two vastly different Judgments, Pastor. I want to make sure people understand this. God bless you & I pray for all unsaved sinners every night since the Lake of Fire is somewhere j wouldn't want to spend one second, let alone eternity ✝️🙏💜✝️🙏💜✝️🏙️💜✝️🏙️💜

[@tunmin7105]

Sir, Bema judgement is only for non believers and will be asked by God how did they lived while on earth as well as many christians ( easy believe cheap christians ) But not real believers who in Christ ( saved ones ). Saved ones are already judged in the 1 Cor3:12-15 . Jesus second coming will take only after the Rapture. After the Rapture there's Tribulation period for 7 years on earth as Bible mentioned than Second Coming will take place. Thank you & God bless you.

[@smeatonlighthouse4384]

If you read John ch. 5 you will see that there are two types of resurrection - one unto Life and the other unto judgement. The Christian is resurrected unto Life at the Rapture when the Lord Jesus comes for His own to the full satisfaction of His heart of love for the church. John ch. 14 v 1-3, and Ephesians ch. 5. This is preceding the great Tribulation period. Those judged will be for service to the Lord. There is service done in the power of the flesh which will be burned up, also service done in the power of the Spirit to the glory of God, which will be rewarded. They are all in bodies of glory nonetheless and are all in Heaven. The second resurrection type is approximately 1000 years later at the end of the millennial reign of Christ on the earth. It is a resurrection of the lost dead unto judgement. The judgement is at the great white throne and the Lord Jesus is the judge. The individuals will be judged for their sin and their deeds. This is for punishment in the Lake of Fire. They are all lost in this judgement.
