    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Knowing how the gospel is taught by Paul and all of Christ's disciples from the Word of God is not knowing what the gospel of the Kingdom of God through Christ means for you and me and all who are called to be disciples of Christ!

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Matthew 25 is depicting the great white throne judgment AFTER Christ comes again. Ro 14 does NOT indicate unbelievers bowing before the judgment seat of Christ. Unbelievers will be called to bow before God at the great white throne. OTOH believers have already bowed before the judgment seat of...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    How do you define Gospel? The Bible is replete with verses telling His disciples to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God that whosoever hears and believes in Christ shall be saved! Paul gives us the reason for why people MUST hear the gospel and believe in Christ to be saved. This was...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    All of mankind throughout all time who are saved are saved through the gospel, that is the message of entrance into the Kingdom of God through faith in Jesus. I'm not sure what you are saying. Are you saying that only Paul preached the gospel, and that his Apostolic gospel was superior or...

    Why did Jesus pray to himself?

    Jesus did NOT pray to Himself! He prayed to the Father while clothed in mortal flesh and blood where He was about to endure unimaginable suffering in the flesh. Of course He prayed for help from His Father, still acknowledging He would endure the cup of wrath that was the will of the Father...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    I showed you the difference! Reading between the lines, it seems you are admitting the JSC is never called a throne in the Bible! From the Strong's Concordance of Hebrew and Greek! It shows what Greek word has been used for defining in English, as well as the meaning of the words in both...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    The judgment seat of Christ is not called a “throne" in the same sense as the great white throne in Revelation. Where in Scripture is the JSC ever called a 'throne'? It's defined as a "step" the foot set on a throne. Throne is defined "a stately seat" of power or potentate. The great white...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Doesn't Scripture indicate the sheep were already the sheep before the coming of the Lord? They aren't called to the GWTJ to be judged, as the goats are. No, the sheep are gathered before His throne of glory to hear the King say "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    What differentiates the JSC from the GWTJ is the JSC is judgment to repentance, but with the GWTJ there will be no call to repent, it shall be eternal judgment of the DEAD, who in life never repented, turning to Christ that they would not come into condemnation at the GWTJ.

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Why would Paul write of the first coming of the Lord say, "until/unto the coming of the Lord"? Christ's first coming was in the flesh, when He came to make atonement for sin, and defeat death and Satan. Since the first coming of the Lord is past, now we are waiting for Christ to come the...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Believers are caught up to meet the Lord in the air when the Lord returns the second time at the sign of His coming when He shall send His angels to gather together His elect. Hebrews 9:27-28 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Aren't men being judged righteous in this life that at the end of this age we are not judged with the unrighteous? If Christ is not judging man in this life according to His righteousness, why is man chastened in this life? Isn't being chastened by God being judged by Him? If we are being...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    The judgment seat of Christ unlike the GWTJ is not eternal judgment. The JSC is for the righteous not for the wicked. When believers stand, which is to bow our knees before Christ, giving ourselves up to Him, allowing Christ, through His Spirit in us to build up His body; the Church, that she...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    The Bible shows us when Christ came to earth, the time had come for judgment to first begin at the house of God, the church. 1 Peter 4:17-19 (KJV) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the...

    Acts 2:38 applies today but not 44 &45

    Good point! A few verses come to mind. Luke 6:38 – “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Galatians 6:9 – “Let us not become weary in doing...
