That's not the question apparently, but have you read the judgment scripture is the more appropriate question. Both of the following scriptures are referencing the same thing:

2 Corinthians 5:10

King James Version

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.

Revelation 20:12

King James Version

12 And 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.

Thank you for providing scripture.

One "judgment" is for Christians in order to receive their "reward". The other (Great White Throne Judgment) is for non-believers. I thought this was all explained above.

Thank you for providing scripture.

One "judgment" is for Christians in order to receive their "reward". The other (Great White Throne Judgment) is for non-believers. I thought this was all explained above.

In Ezekiel 34: 17 it suggests that there will be two separation occurring at the time of the final judgement. The first "judgement" is to separate the whole flock into two flocks, with one flock that does not call God/Jesus Lord, who are immediately sent into the Lake of Fire, and a second flock of the sheep and the goats who do call God/Jesus Lord. This second flock is then refined and presented before God/Jesus and the sheep and the Goats are separated from each other. This is the final judgement that take place. Jesus tells us that the Goats go into the Lake of Fire and the Sheep receive their inheritance.

Perhaps, this will clear up the misconception that many Christians hold that the GWTJ is for non-believers, whereas the GWTJ is for those who call Jesus/God, "Lord, Lord."

Ezekiel 34:17: - 17 'And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, {i.e. the first separation}, between rams and goats, {i.e. the second separation}.​
NKJV

Perhaps we need to heed Christ's warning contained in the Matthew 25:31-46 parable as to what is required of us "Christians" to be able to enter into heaven to receive our inheritance.

When we "Christians" present ourselves before Christ at the GWTJ will His response be, as he has said during the time of His ministry, "Be gone, I never knew you."

Matthew 7:21-23: - I Never Knew You
(Luke 6:46; 13:26,27)


21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
NKJV

Precious friends:
Judgments, According To God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided!:

CHRIST Was JUDGED By God!

Isa_53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every
one to his own way; and The LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

Rom_3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be A Propitiation through
faith in HIS BLOOD, to declare His Righteousness for the remission
of sins that are past, through The Forbearance of God;

Rom 4:25 Who was Delivered for our offences, and was Raised again
for our justification.

1Jn_2:2 And He Is The Propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but
also for the sins of the whole world.

1Jn_4:10 Herein is Love, not that we loved God, but That HE LOVED
us, and Sent His SON to be The Propitiation for our sins.
---------------------------------------------------------
According To God’s Revelation Of The Mystery (Rom-Phm), Under GRACE,
The Body Of CHRIST, Will Be resurrected/raised At Great GRACE
Departure To Heaven, and, Will Be JUDGED at The Bema Seat, There:

"The Day" = The JUDGMENT Seat Of CHRIST!:

"Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every
man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry,
ye are God's building. According The GRACE Of God Which Is Given
unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid The Foundation, and
another buildeth Thereon.

But let every man take heed how he buildeth Thereupon. For other
foundation can no man lay than That is laid, Which Is JESUS CHRIST.
Now if any man build upon This Foundation gold, silver, precious stones,
wood, hay, stubble;

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for The Day Shall
Declare it, because it Shall Be Revealed by fire; and the fire
Shall Try every man's work of what sort it is.

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall
receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall
suffer loss: but he himself SHALL BE SAVED; yet so as by fire."
(1 Corinthians 3:8-15 KJB!)

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That DIFFER!”:

According To God’s Prophetic Program, Israel and the nations Will Be
JUDGED for “entrance {sheep} Into The 1000-Year kingdom on the earth!”
(Matthew 25:31-46 KJB!) {goats are UNbelievers - see below...}

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That DIFFER!”:

UNbelievers Of ALL ages Will Be JUDGED at The Great White Throne
(Revelation 20:11-15 KJB!) For Eternal Torment? Yes:

Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark
in his forehead, or in his hand,

Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is
poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall
be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels,
and in the presence of The Lamb:

Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever
and ever: and they have no rest day nor night
, who worship the
beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
-------------------------------------------------------
(2 Timothy 2:15; Romans 16:25; Ephesians 1:3-9; Ephesians 3:9 =
GRACE/Mystery fellowship {Romans – Philemon}, For ALL “to SEE,” today?)

Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!
God's Simple Will!
