If judgment seat is called the Bema Seat what is the great white throne judgment?

Answer 1

The Bema Seat and the White Throne of God and the judgment seat and the throne of God are all the same seat. There is one judgment.

All mankind will stand before God at the same time: believers and nonbelievers together and all will receive their just reward. Believers will (as they have from the start of their faith in Christ as Savior) be rewarded with eternal life. As believers all our good works come from Christ. Our good works do not come by our power but through His Power of the Holy Spirit within us. God cannot judge believers works or He would be judging Himself. Once we are believers we are Sons of God and like Christ even though we live in sinful bodies here on earth. We are made righteous by Grace and by faith given to us through salvation and justification in Christ. We believers will stand shoulder to shoulder with the nonbelievers before the judgment seat and all will receive their judgment, their just rewards. Amen

Now if you have been mislead into believing there are two raptures and two judgments then you need to reread your Bible for yourself and read the words as they are written not as someone has said/taught you what they mean. If someone tries to tell you that you cannot have two different words for the same thing then I would have to put before them all the different names (over 200) for Christ in our Bible. God's Holy Word is built upon visuals and images that match the world around us so we can feel His Holy Word and understand it thus Bema (seat upon a high step) and White Throne of God are two and the same. When you read the "The red ball fell of the table" read exactly what it says and no more... then sit and feel what He is saying and you will know His Truth and not man's corruption of His Truth.

Use Bible study and fellowship to be inspired into deeper Biblical understanding but always read The Bible for yourself and decide for yourself. Ask God for His Truth and His Wisdom to be made known to you and you will receive - Psalm 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

John Nelson Darby invented the "Rapture" idea in 1827 because he too read his own imagination into and between the lines of God's Inspired Words. Don't you think if there really was two raptures (one secret rapture where Jesus only hovers in the sky snatching believers and another rapture where Jesus comes again in the same way He left that every eye will see) St. Paul, St. Peter and all the other desciples of Christ would have taught it before 1827?

There is one rapture which is the coming of Christ that every eye shall see and there is one judgment for all mankind at the same time. Grace saved believers not works for the works of a believer belong to Christ by way of His Holy Spirit that lives within us. We will be reward the promised (hoped for) eternal life and dwell with Christ forever
