Contendah, my Friend,
You obviously have no understanding of that Matthew 25 Scripture passage. This may help you better understand what is and will happen in prophecy:
1. The Judgment Seat of Christ (Believers's Judgment) -- In heaven, after the Rapture. For believers who have been raptured: 2 Corinthians 5:10.
2. The Sheep and Goat Judgment (Tribulation Survivors Judgment) -- On earth, after His Second Coming at the end of the Tribulation. He will judge the "Nations" -- those who have survived the Tribulation. The Sheep, those on His right, will go into His Millennial Kingdom on earth in their mortal bodies. The Goats, those on His left, will go into eternal punishment: Matthew 25:31-46
3. The Great White Throne Judgment (Non-believers Judgment) -- On earth, after the 1000 year Millennium. Following the resurrection of all non-believers, He will judge them, a judgment of punishment: Revelation 20:11-15.
My Friend, I am happy that I can help you better understand our Lord's plans for our future.
And, lest you or some of your "works salvation" buddies get the wrong idea when viewing the chart below -- yes, the title over the throne does indeed say, "Judgement Of Believers, For Works."
I can just see you, and all our Liberal Theology Friends, jumping up and down, cheering, salivating, etc. -- believing this is saying that one is saved by or through works.
Sorry, my Friend, no cigar. What this says is that this is a judgment for "Believers" -- all the people who, by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ -- HAVE believed and received salvation, i.e., eternal life in Christ.
THEN, those believers, those saved saints -- WILL be judged at the "Believers" Judgment for the "works and good deeds" they have done in this mortal life, in Christ's name -- AFTER becoming believers.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
