how will some escape this "entrance" as NOT necessary?

Those who have no imperfections burdening them do not suffer loss.

And according to your previous post skip right on past and go directly to heaven. So where in that I Cor. 3 passage do these special people get singled out to escape the judgment seat of Christ? Where is their gold, silver and precious stones refined and their rewards given? Obviously, that passage is NOT a prooftext for the doctrine of Purgatory.

Loss of what exactly? What are they going to lose in purgatory?

Help me here.

What of you is supposed to go to purgatory? Your old body? The one that the Holy Ghost indwells? The temple of God? God’s going to wake up your old body and send Himself to Hell? Or is He going to contradict His word and leave you first? Or is He going there with you?

Or is it supposed to be only your soul going for the ride? Is a soul, being non-physical, capable of feeling a physical fire? Of course not, so how’s that going to pay for anything?

Or is it to be your eternal body? He’s going to give you your eternal body and then burn the crap out of it? Tcch. There goes a whole lot of promises about Heaven.

Exactly which YOU is supposed to go there?

Please keep in mind that the Bema Seat is IN HEAVEN, that none will be in Heaven except those in Christ, even the Patriarchs such as Abraham. And think, if you will, how does one have entrance into Heaven. It is not by way of the purgatory being proposed as the purging process to perfect for entry! ONLY by The Blood of Christ are any made perfect, even those still alive and struggling against the sin nature inherited from Adam. Look again at the scene on the Day of Pentecost and in the House of the Centurion, Cornelius. The regeneration happened even bfore Peter finished his sermon! God put His Holy Spirit in believers, not purgatists.
