The Bride is not in that group being judged.

Show it to me in the Book; please.

Here is the trail. You dig it out for your own edification:

Typology is the Jewish Wedding system, with betrothal, the wedding party coming for the bride and bridesmaids, the returning to the Father's house where the bridegroom has made a place to receive the bride, the purification washing prior to the wedding ceremony, the wedding feast.

In the Church Age there is neither Jew nor Gentile int he body of believers, the ekklesia, for the Body of Christ, the Church of Christ, The Bride of Christ have not distinction except they are of Him.

The Lord Himself will come for His bride and her bridesmaids. They will go to the prepared place for the purification ceremony and the wedding. They will return to Earth with Christ for the reign of Christ in the millennial kingdom.

No one will be in Heaven without coming through Christ. Once you arrive 'by Christ' you are no longer under condemnation and have eternal life, and this prior to the Great White Throne.

Show it to me in the Book; please.

This is a really quick summary:

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.
Rev 20:13 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.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

This judgment has a combination of good guys and bad guys...The bad guys come up out of hell and are being judged...

Rev_20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

This Great White Throne Judgment clearly is at the end...The earth and heavens have fled away...AFTER the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ on earth...At some point in time there is a first resurrection where Christians will reign with Jesus Christ for that thousand years...Christians are not going to be the priests of Jesus and then go in for a final judgment...

Romans 14:10-12 says, 'For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat...so then, each of us will give an account of himself to God'...Second Corinthians 5:10 tells us, 'For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad'...In the context, it is clear that both scriptures are referring to Christians, not unbelievers...There are no unbelievers there...

There is no mention of anyone burning up in hell or anywhere else...It is only 'bad' works that are burned...

Prior to the thousand year reign of Christ there will be the Great Tribulation...While this Tribulation is taking place, someone is in heaven getting married to Jesus...

Rev 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Rev 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

Someone is in heaven, getting married, to Jesus...This is during the Tribulation...Right before the thousand year reign of Jesus on the earth...This is the CHURCH, raptured before the Tribulation starts...

And right after the wedding:

Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Jesus returns to earth for the 2nd time...The Second Coming of Jesus Christ; WITH HIS BRIDE, THE CHURCH...A full thousand years before the Great White Throne Judgment...

While Jesus wipes our slate clean when we accept Jesus as our Savior, we continue to sin after that...We can not stand in heaven before the face of God with that sin on our record...At the Judgment seat of Christ that sin record is burned up so we can stand before God, blameless...

1Co 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
