Now, the word judgment can mean either condemnation or evaluation. The Judgment Seat of Christ is a technical, theological term used to designate the evaluation of the royal family of God at the end of the church age after the Rapture and the Big Genuflex. The judgment seat of Christ is the evaluation of what use we made of the logistical grace provisions, predestination, the ten problem solving devices, and the divine power which God made available to every church age believer. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine gain or loss of escrow blessings and rewards for our eternal state. Gain comes from the exploitation of positive volition toward doctrine hence advancing in predestination.
Loss comes from cosmic living hence failure to execute the spiritual life.
At this point there is a temporary shame which will be experienced by loser believers who did not take advantage of all that God had provided for them. Therefore because of the judgment seat of Christ there is no equality in heaven. The exercise of our free will in time leads to varying decisions on the part of all hence some will use their freedom to chose for God's plan and others will use their freedom to ignore God's plan. Freedom never leaves us the same as it found us. If you place Bible doctrine first in your scale of values the Lord will promote you.
