The rewards at the bema seat are those which have been made in eternity past by the Father. The Son acts as an escrow agent, awarding those to believers who performed through faith in Him.
If not through faith in Him, then they have been performed independent of God’s Plan, similar to Lucifer becoming Satan declaring his 5 “I wills”, seeking to emulate God and set himself as God, resulting in the fall.
Good and evil have not yet been judged as all sin has been judged on the Cross, but will be judged at the Great White Throne Judgment.

My apologies -- you answered it here. But, isn't it wrong to ascribe the good actions of non-Christians to be independent of God's Plan?
