imardmd1: Christ’s Bema seat Judgment...

Elsie: Just WHERE is THIS found in Scripture?

The Greek words are in these passages:

Usually spelled bema = βημα but sounds like baymah, is the Koine Greek word that means "judgment seat"

Rom. 14:10 "... βηματι του Χριστου ..." - sounds like baymahtee too Kreestoo

2 Cor. 5:10 "... βηματος του Χριστου ..." - sounds like baymahtos too Kreestoo

Here is a chart that illustrates the concept (scroll down some to find it); and another link gives the explanation in detail (I think the speaker is Charles Stanley).

Not everyone agrees with this interpretation.

Getting into the weeds here is not meant as an insult to your intelligence. Sounds like you never heard of this feature common to eschatology thinking.

King James Version (KJV)

Romans 14:10
But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Ok...
Just how is this NOT the GWT event?

¹¹And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

¹²And 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.

¹³And 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.

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

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