Judgement seat question.

[Kem]

Do you think the judgement seat happens for each believer when they arrive in heaven or all at once for all at some point?
Just curious about this, obviously it is not any kind of foundational belief one way or the other.

 

[Almost Heaven]

Most agree the Bema judgement occurs after the rapture and before the second coming.

This is from Jack Kelly...
Recently I’ve been asked for biblical references as to why I believe that the bema seat judgment will take place during the Tribulation (or Daniel’s 70th Week). Obviously, I believe that the Rapture will happen before those seven years start. And, although I can find the references that say that there will be a judgment for believers, I haven’t been able to nail down ones indicating the timing. Could you point me in the right direction?
The Bema Seat judgment is when believers will be rewarded for the things we did during our life on Earth. There’s no Scripture that reveals the actual time of this event. But I believe a careful reading of 1 Cor. 3:1-0-15 and 2 Cor. 5:10 will lead one to the conclusion that it takes place in Heaven after the Rapture. I also believe the Bible teaches us that the Rapture of the Church will take place before Daniel’s 70th Week begins. Therefore I think it’s safe to assume the Bema

Judgment Seat

The Bible speaks of a special judgment that God will hold for believers only. It is known as the judgment seat of Christ, or the judgment seat of God. Paul wrote.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what we have done whether good or bad (2 Corinthians 5:10).

All believers will stand before God and be individually judged.

Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God (Romans 14:10).

What will happen at this judgment seat? Who will be judged? The Scriptures have the following to say.

Church Only

The participants in the judgment seat of Christ are members of the New Testament church. These are people who have trusted Christ as Savior from the Day of Pentecost, until the coming of Christ for His church. It does not include the Old Testament believers. They will have a separate time of judgment and reward.

Our Actions Will Be Judged

The Bible says that God will reward the actions of believers.

and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely You will reward each person according to what He has done (Psalm 62:12).

Jesus said.

For the Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels, and then He will reward each person according to what He has done (Matthew 16:27).

Paul wrote.

Knowing that whatever good we do, we will receive the same again from the Lord, whether we are slaves or free (Ephesians 6:8).

At The Rapture Of The Church

At some time in the future, the Lord will come back for those who have believed upon Him. He will change their bodies from corruptible to incorruptible.

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have died. For this we declare to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For the Lord Himself, with a shout, with the archangel's call and with the sound of God's trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

After this event, those believers will go to the judgment seat of Christ. Judgment always comes after resurrection.

There’s no Scripture that reveals the actual time of this event.

Ok so I guess Jack Kelly believes it's one big event not an individual for each person event for those who die before the rapture. That was all I was really asking.

 

[RonJohnSilver]

Are you talking about the Bema judgment or the Judgment Seat of Christ because my understanding is that those are two separate judgments? I'll have to look up the references but the Bema is for rewards and happens first post rapture, the Judgment Seat of Christ aka the Sheep and Goats Judgment happens at the end of the tribulation and the last judgment is the Great White Throne (of) Judgment at the end of the Millennium. I would think that all three judgments are individual, certainly Bema is. I think that they all are.
