Who appears at the Bema Seat and who appears at the great white throne?
Believers appear at the Bema Seat, as indicated by 'we' in the context, while the great white throne is for the lost of all ages. No believers appear at the great white throne; unbelievers are resurrected out of hell bodily for judgment there.
Les explains that as we come before the Bema Seat, a qualification must be made: the great white throne is only for the lost, from Cain until the end of time, and no believers will appear there. Christ is the judge at the great white throne, judging the lost of all ages. Les notes that Jesus taught two resurrections in John 5—the resurrection of the just and the resurrection of the unjust. The unbeliever is resurrected out of hell before the great white throne, appearing bodily in a new resurrected body, but a body fit not for glory, not for heaven, but for the eternal lake of fire. This contrasts with the Bema Seat, which is for believers.
