Isn't this judgement for those that get saved during the Great
Tribulation?
I have the understanding that the bride of Christ won't face the Great
Thrown Judgement but a Marriage supper of the Lamb where the Crowns will
be passed out that will then be thrown back at the feet of Christ?
Why do so many preach the Judgment for the Bride of Christ when this
isn't so? When the rapture takes place the Bride of Christ won't face
this judgement.
It is true that the unsaved will face this judgement and those that are
saved during the Great Tribulation... the rest face judgement at death
unless raptured.
