Great White Throne Judgement is for everyone... Christians Included

I'm just rereading Chapter 20 of Revelation and noticed... Christians are NOT exculded from the Great White Throne Judgement.

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 whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Now, believers are not subject to the lake of fire... but nothing in Chapter 20 gets God's people out of the judgement.
Judged by "their works"... and name NOT found in the Book of Life... Sentence executed.
Judged by "their works"... and name found in the Book of Life... Sentence commuted.

Thoughts?

So you deny the existence of hell?

I deny the existence of unending torment. The unsaved are tormented in the presence of our Lord, as their shame is brought to light,

he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lam b: Rev.14:10

This is true. Good observation.

Christians at the coming of Christ are the only ones judged by works at His judgment seat. The tares are separated from the wheat.

The rest of the dead will be all the wicked since Cain, along with the just and unjust duing the Lord's millenial reign upon the earth.

Only Christians will be judged by our works at His coming again, and both Christians of the Millennium with all the wicked dead will be judged by works at His GWT.

If the torment were flames of fire, then true. But the eternal torment is remaining entirely alone and separated from the Lamb and fellowship of God forever.

Jde 1:12These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

The first death of the soul is by sins and trespasses on earth, that ends with the grave. The second death of the soul is by condemnation for sinning and trespassing unto the grave, which is forever.

Repenting for His mercies sake is now or never.
