Why every Christian has to stand before Judgement

Major said:
Yes it is possible. However, since there are "degrees" of punishment in the Lake of Fire, it would make sense that the lost at that time would be judged according to the degree of their sin.

Yes.....I know that all sin is sin in Gods eyes. All sin is a falling short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). So there’s either righteousness or unrighteousness, and righteousness—perfection—is an absolute. Broadly speaking, all sins are equal to God in that all sins are by definition “unrighteous” and “imperfect.” All things less than holy share the quality of unholiness.

IMHO, Some sins are worse than other sins. That is the message of Scripture. For example, Genesis 18:20 refers to the sin of homosexuality as an exceedingly grave sin.
"And the LORD said, “The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.”

Murder to God seems to be highest type of sin, as that meant killing those in very image of God

"the Bible clearly indicts that all will appear before the judgment seat of Christ, those who truly believe will be judged worthy by the blood of the Lamb. others will receive the judgment of condemnation."

With all due respect to you my friend, but YOU are 100% wrong!

Yes in that all believers will appear at the Judgment Seat of Christ. NO in that they will be judged for their sins.

Every person at the Judgment Seat Of Christ will be born again believers! Their sins have already been judged and paid for by the blood of God, Jesus the Christ! NO ONE at the Judgement Seat of Christ will receive any condemnation what so ever!

The Judgment of believers’ works, often referred to as the “judgment seat of Christ” or and the Bema Seat Judgment" found in 2 Corinthians 5:10. At this judgment, All born again Christians will receive degrees of reward for their works or service to God.

The wicked, the unsaved lost of all ages will be judged later, actually after the 1000 year rule of Christ, and after the 2nd Resurrection.

Need to read closely what Gods Word says..

Romans 3:4
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

Those that overcome as Christ overcame are the saints, so this is definitely the believers, and we see more..

1 Corinthians 11:32
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

The judgement for the 'believers' is being done as the saints in the separation of sheep and the goats have to be done at the Second Coming and we see what scripture says..
1 Peter 4:17
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

So there is no question that the human race is judged by God. We see in Ecclesiastes 12:14 that God will bring "every work into judgment”, and Paul says in Romans 14:10 that we do not need to judge each other, because “we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ”
 
because “we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ”

Christians stand at the bema seat there is no condemnation at this one.. the white throne judgment is for the Lost/

chastisement is corrections .
6 ;For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

7 ;If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 ;But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

9;Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

10;For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11;Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Hobie, do you have a point to all this talk? Are you espousing some form of Pelagianism?

I have NO idea what you are trying to say. You are posting Scripture that has nothing to do with the topic!

We all know that you have stated and seem to support the Investigative Judgment that is a 7th Day Adventist doctrine. Why don't you just admit that and stop all the ambiguous positions that mean nothing????

Again, may I say with all Biblical truth that the sins of Christians were judged on the cross of Jesus and He paid for all of those sins so that now, all born again believers are justified, which is a legal term for declared NOT GUILITY. Christians will not be judged !!!

All non-believers will be judged by the Lord Jesus after the 1000 year rule of Christ.

His view sounds like we have been granted a probationary salvation, and that God will judge all of us in the end to see if we have done enough to merit keeping it
