For if we sin wilfully after having the knowledge of the truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins. But a certain dreadful expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries.
I'm surprised grace is part of your username. What is grace?

Romans 8:1-2; 5:57 + 58b

For we must all be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.

Just as an aside...here at CC we have grown accustomed to a higher quality troll. So...if you are going to last here you either need to up the quality of your responses or at least provide humor.

Yes, I have found the verse you are referencing...


2 Corinthians 5:10 Context

7(For we walk by faith, not by sight 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10For 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. 11Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 12For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. 13For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

But I assure you, only sinners who are not under the Blood of Jesus will appear at the GWT. The above is a reference to the Judgment of Works and has to do with rewards. We need not fear the second resurrection of the damned. That is the Judgement that we are exempt from. That is what we have been focusing on. It has to do with people's rejection of Jesus, not works of the believer.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

John 8:36 plus Romans 8:2 If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

Methinks the record is broken... and needs to be tossed out.
