A lot of folks are more concerned about proving how "right" they are. Those are usually the ones who are more concerned about defending their "pet doctrines" than in finding the truth from God's Word with the help of the Holy Spirit. I only care about the truth because I know the truth sets us free (and I know my pet doctrines won't set anybody free). This is what I mean by "erasing the blackboard" of your heart and mind, sitting at Jesus' feet, and letting him do the teaching.
In most of Jesus' parables, although we are the Bride of Christ, we are also shown as the guests. Where?
Well, for starters try his parable at Luke 14:12-14; his parable at vs. 16-24; vs 15 (which explains how the two parables connect), and his parable at Matt. 22:2-14. I'll let you do some more research on your own).
We are also the armies on horseback, compare Rev 19:8 and 19:14.
Cool, huh?
all as many as they found, both bad and good
Now you're getting into the parts that are more difficult to understand. As I've said, don't reject plain sound doctrine and truth for the parts that are more hard to understand.
IMO Heaven will be filled with those who have received rewards - some many rewards, some not too many, some possibly none at all, yet they are still saved because "whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Hebrews Chapt. 4 tells us a lot about not missing the rewards God has for us, and it has NOTHING to do with our self-effort or self-righteousness, like the Pharisees who Jesus constantly rebuked and condemned.
