No. Believers will not face judgment for their sins at the judgment seat of Christ; their sins were already judged at the cross and are forgiven under the blood.
Les Feldick teaches that all of a believer's sin was paid for at the cross and is under the blood, so none of it will be presented at the Bema seat. The judgment seat of Christ is a review of what believers have done with their lives as believers, strictly for reward, not for salvation or sin.
2 Corinthians 5:10 — Paul directly names the judgment seat of Christ and says believers receive according to what they have done in the body, which Les interprets as rewards not sins.
John 5:29 — Jesus separates the resurrection of life from the resurrection of damnation, which Les uses to keep the Bema seat distinct from the Great White Throne.
In 2 Corinthians 5:10, Paul writes: "For 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." The verse describes believers appearing before Christ and receiving according to what was done in the body. Jesus also speaks of two resurrections in John 5:29: "And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." This shows a separation between the resurrection of life and the resurrection of damnation.
Les Feldick's consistent teaching is that no believer's sin will be presented at the Bema seat. He says all of our sin was judged on Christ at the cross and is forgiven and under the blood. Therefore, believers will never have to stand before God and give an account for sin. Instead, they will give an account for what they have done as believers. Les points out that the King James translation "judgment seat" is unfortunate; the Greek word is bema, which was the seat of rewards in the Olympic Games. The Bema seat is not a judgment for sin and not a place where salvation is decided. It is strictly a review of the believer's works for reward. He contrasts this with the Great White Throne, which is only for the lost. No believers will be there. The lost will be resurrected and appear before Christ at the Great White Throne, but believers appear before the Bema seat of Christ.
No. Les says no believer's sin will be presented at the Bema seat. He explains that all of our sin was judged on Christ at the cross. In his words, "Never, never. Oh, our sins are forgiven, they're under the blood. Christ took care of it, and we will never have to stand before him with sin on our back."
Les teaches that the Bema seat is for believers only and is a seat of rewards. The Great White Throne is entirely separate — it is for the lost, from Cain until the end of time. There will be no believers at the Great White Throne. The lost will be resurrected and appear before it in a body fit for the lake of fire.
Les says the King James word "judgment seat" is an unfortunate translation. The Greek word is bema, which was the seat of rewards at the Olympic Games, where judges determined who was first, second, third, fourth, and so on. In heaven, the bema seat is exactly that: believers come before Christ to be examined on what they have done with their lives as believers for reward.
Redemption and Forgiveness
Les ties forgiveness to redemption through Christ's blood and says believers know these realities by faith, not by visible evidence.
No Believer's Sin at the Bema Seat
Les plainly says no believer's sin will be presented at the Bema seat; all sin was judged on Christ at the cross, and believers will still give an account for their works as believers.
Bema Seat Is for Reward, Not Salvation
Les says the Bema seat is where believers receive things done in the body, but it is not about salvation; it is strictly for reward.
Great White Throne Is Only for the Lost
Les distinguishes the Great White Throne from the Bema seat — no believers are there; Christ judges the lost of all ages, and the lost are resurrected to appear there.
Bema Means Seat of Rewards
Les says the KJV's 'judgment seat' is a mistranslation; the Greek bema was the seat of rewards at the Olympic Games, showing the judgment seat is about rewards, not sin.
Sins Are Under the Blood
Les insists believers will never have to answer for sin before Christ; sins are forgiven and under the blood, even when believers go through trials.
Bema Seat Examines the Believer's Life
Les says the Bema seat is not a great white throne judgment and not a judgment for sin since that is all under the blood; it is an examination of what each believer has done with his life for reward.
The Judgment Seat Is for Believers Only
Les affirms only true believers appear before the judgment seat of Christ, and the correct Greek term is the Bema seat — the issue is reward, not salvation.
2 Corinthians 5:10: For 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.
Paul directly states believers appear before the judgment seat of Christ and receive according to what they have done in the body.
John 5:29: And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Jesus describes two resurrections, which Les uses to separate the judgment of believers from the judgment of the lost.
No. Les Feldick teaches that no believer's sin will be presented at the Bema seat. All of our sin was judged on Christ at the cross, and our sins are forgiven and under the blood.
Because the Greek word behind 'judgment seat' is bema, the seat of rewards. Les says the Bema seat is strictly for examining what the believer has done with his life as a believer for reward, not for dealing with sin.
Only the lost. Les says no believer will be at the Great White Throne. Christ will judge the lost of all ages, and everybody there rejected the salvation that was offered to them.
