Your statement above seems to mean that true Christians will be at the GWT, right?

But do you agree with MHG and me that they will not be judged at the GWT?

I might as well throw in my two cents. My opinion, and it's ONLY my opinion, because I don't think it matters a bunch. I think we born again Christians WILL be at the GWT, not to be judged, as our sins have already been forgiven.
I think we will all be there, either as observers, or witnesses for the prosecution. I think we will rise in Judgement, along with the men of Nineveh, and the Queen of the South, and condemn the lost sinners. I don't believe we have the power to "condemn" anyone. I think it is simply that we will agree with God's judgment, as He condemns them.
My opinion only, not dogmatic about it. 😀

The GWT is a judgment seat where works are the key weighing factor. Christians will have had a Bema Seat judgment by The Bridegroom, in Heaven, during the seven years of Tribulation. So we would not be at the GWT to be judged. The Grace of God in Christ is that JESUS has covered our sin debt because we have faith in Him as Savior. Those at The GWT are there because they did not have their sin debt covered by the infinite Grace of God so they are standing for judgment based on what they depend upon, a ‘balance scale’ ... which could never equal God’s Infinite Grace in Christ Jesus.

I think your position has very solid scriptural interlocking support. One thing we ought not to forget is that while God's Secial Revelation has always been progressive on the timeline, it is comprehensive (but not exhaustive) and culminated at the end of the first century with the death of Beloved John, the theologian,when he died.And depite what the error-bent preterists, that would be at t he age of about one hudred years ol. For me, our presence at GWT occurs a lo-o-ong time after The Kingdom of God has joined forces with the earthly temporal Kingdom of Heaven, when the Devil was chained and sent to the bottomless pit for a thousand years (Rev. 20:2). The GWT takes place after That old devil was alowed to reemerge, then bound again. I believe we will be at the GWT when Jesus is the judne, because after our much earlier resurrection. ". . . so shall we ever be with Him." (1 Thwess. 4:17).

(Got to go on an errand now, despite possible typos)
