2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

John 5: 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Some Christians believe in three different judgments:
1. judgment of sheep and goats - Matthew 25:31-33
2. judgment of believers works referred to as the bema seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10
3. judgement of unbelievers at the great white throne - Revelation 20:11-15

There are not three, but only one final judgment, but two different books opened at the great white throne judgment. Scripture is clear at this time of the great white throne judgment the books that are opened are the book of life where those who are of Christ will be judged for their deeds and receive their promised inheritance of eternal life with the Father as their names were found in the book of life. The other book that is opened is also Christ judgment, John 5:22; John 5:26, 27, of those whose deeds led them to reject Him and they are judged and receive their inheritance of eternal punishment in the lake of fire. God has commited all judgment unto Christ and at His second coming on the last day, John 6:40, all who are alive and asleep in their grave will hear the voice of Christ to rise, John 5:28, 29, and then final judgment is declared. Everyone will stand before God at the great white throne judgment to give an account of themselves as Christ will judge everyone for their deeds. Some will hear "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" and others will hear "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels".

It's not for the lost, but for all. It's at this time Christ will separate the sheep from the goats when the books are opened and God has commited all judgment unto Him. I already explained all of this in the OP, but it seems you might not have taken the time to study the same scriptures that are in your Bible.

2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

The judgement seat of Christ is at the great white throne judgment as God gives the judgement to Christ were all will be judged by Him. All means all sheep and the goats.

Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Notice at the great white throne two different sets of books are opened as Christ will then judge the sheep and the goats by whose names are found in the books.

Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

Everyone who has ever been born will stand before God to give an account of himself to God and then Christ will separate the sheep from the goats as He makes final judgment on everyone as God will commit all judgment unto Christ at the great white throne judgement.

If you are truly of Christ then there is nothing to fear at the great white throne judgment as you will hear "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world".

Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world

What is spoken of in Matthew 25:31-34 all happens at the great white throne judgement on the last daywhen Christ returns, John 6:40.
 
they are separate a child of God does not stand in judgement with the Lost that is Bible

A true child of God does stand in judgment if you would read 2 Corinthians 5:10. There will they receive the rewards for the good that they did for Christ while here on earth as their names are found written in the book of life. Others whose names are not found in the book of life will also be judged by Christ and receive that of damnation as they are then cast into the lake of fire. There is only one resurrection of the dead, John 5:28, 29, but two separate judgments.

Two separate types of judgments, but all given on the last day when Christ returns with His army of angels, John 6:40, Rev 19:11-14, as final judgment. The sheep on the right hand of Christ will have finally inherit their promise of eternal life with the Father and the goats on the left hand of Christ will receive eternal damnation and cast into the lake of fire. Two separate books open as God commits all judgment unto the Son. It's not a literal great white throne nor literal books, but none the less it's all final judgment made by Christ on the last day before the heaven and earth are made new again and the New Jerusalem brought down from heaven where we will be with the Lord forever.

time frame i can not prove .i just make sure i dont appear before the white throne judgement with the lost. i am wheat not chaff and i have plans on staying that way .its kept by the power of God
 
A true child of God does stand in judgment if you would read 2 Corinthians 5:10.
i did not say we would not be judged ..we just will not be judged as a lost person we stand at the bema seat .

{There is only one resurrection of the dead } rev 20: 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
 
Where did I ever say we would be judged as a lost person. The bema seat of Christ is the judgment seat of Christ at the timing of the great white throne judgment. All will give an account unto God, but God commits all judgment unto Christ to judge the sheep and the goats. When Christ comes in all His glory He will then take His (bema) seat on the throne of His glory and gather all nations before Him, those alive and those who are raised from the dead as final judgment is made for all saints and sinners, Matthew 25:31-46.
 
amazing your Bible reads different than mine sheep on the right goats on the left separate.. if you want to be in the white throne judgement be my guest :readbible:amen
I do read the Bible, thank you very much.
The opinion that there will be more than one judgment is a relatively modern invention that has gained wide popularity. Popularity and accuracy are two different things.
But, you do what you believe God wants you to do and it will all pan out.

sorry its not modern invention its Bible every thing is separate wheat/chaff tares/ wheat lost/saved
 
sorry its not modern invention
Because you are not aware of the source of the teaching that there will be multiple judgments is an invention from the 16th century does not make it "Bible."
It is popular but it is not authentic "Bible."
What has been taught by the Church from the beginning is that there will be one judgment.
BUt if you like the multiple judgement teaching, that's fine with me. It won't make any difference in the end; everybody ends up in the kingdom of God or in the lake of burning sulfur.

There is only one judgment.
The glorious throne of Mat 25:31 is the same throne found at Rev 20:11
The idea that there will be two judgments is a modern invention.
You can believe it if you like. I believe it has no bearing on your eternal condition.

okkk no matter to me.. i can assure you i am not following some modern invention. the Judgments are separate. sheep on the right goats on the left separate not together----------------Bible
 
I can assure you that you are.
NOBODY talked about separate judgments before the 1800s.
tell ya what if you can prove it show it and i seriously doubt you was around in the 1800 s i want scripture that say thus saith the Lord . that saved will stand in judgement with the lost you show me and i will stand corrected while your at it care to share your thoughts on the wheat and tares . where he say let the grow together .they will be separated at the harvest / judgment the tares will be thrown into the fire 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” step one the tares are removed step two the wheat is gathered put in the barn . 1 -2 buckle my shoe = separate. never the less show me scripture ..i have no idea what they talked about in the 1800
 
i want scripture that say thus saith the Lord . that saved will stand in judgement with the lost you show me and i will stand corrected
Rev 20:11-15
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life.
And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.


Jhn 5:28-29
Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

Mat 25:31-34
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Mat 25:41
Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:'

Rom 2:5-10
But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

In each of those passages, on the Day of the Lord, the dead are raised and are judged according to what they had done in this life. Those who believed in Jesus and did God's will will be given eternal life and those who did not will be sent to the second death.

Mat 12:41-42
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. “The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it,...
Notice that Jesus said "the judgment" (singular) not "the judgmentS." (Plural)

There is nothing in any of those scriptures to suggest that there will be multiple judgments. That teaching is part of the dispensationalism invented by John Darby et.al. in the 19th century and made popular here in the USA by Schofield et. al.

But, if you think that's accurate, then enjoy. We'll all surely find out one war or the other sooner or later.
