I thought you implied that the judgment is to determine rewards that one receives after either going to heaven or hell. IOW.....the judgment in itself does not determine whether one goes to heaven or hell. Did I get that all screwed up? All men will be judged for their works, but those who are found in Christ have been pardoned for their past sins. Therefore, the judgment of their works is to examine the fruit of their ministry and to give rewards and crowns for what they have done. DAVEH:  So.....if I am understanding you correctly, there will be a double standard.  You apparently believe those saved will be judged differently than those not saved.....correct? Nevertheless, any "Christian" found to be a fornicator, homosexual, thief, murderer, extortioner, or covetous, etc. will be judged as other sinners are judged. DAVEH:  ???  Even if they are saved they will suffer the wrath of the Lord?  IF their sins are forgiven as evidenced by their salvation, then why would they not be exempt?  From what I thought I learned from my sojourn here, I thought that was what being saved means to most Christians.  Did I misunderstand? They will receive of the wrath of God. They are not exempt just because they are a "Christian." Peace be with you.
