The Judgement Seat of Christ: That at the return of Jesus Christ from heaven, to establish his kingdom on earth, he will, first of all, summon before him for judgement, those who are responsible to his judgement, Those that are dead he will cause to come forth from the dust, and assemble them with the living to his presence. Faithful and unfaithful will be mustered together before his judgement-seat, for the purpose of having it declared, after account rendered, who is worthy of being invested with immortality and promoted to the kingdom, and who is deserving of rejection, and re-consignment to corruption after punishment. (This precludes, the idea created by a superficial reading of the apostolic testimony, that there is no judgement for the saints, and that the resurrection at the coming of Christ will be confined to the accepted, who, according to this theory, awake to instantaneous incorruption and immortality).1

Every idle (evil) word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. (Matthew 12:36,37).

All that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of (to receive) life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of (to receive) damnation. (John 5:28,29).

He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap (after judgement) corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap (after judgement) life everlasting. (Galatians 6:8).

Little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. (1 John 2:28).

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. (Matthew 24:46).

If that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming... The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him... And shall cut him asunder (Matthew 24:48-51).

Of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. (Mark 8:38).

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. (Matthew 16:27).

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. (Matthew 13:45-49).

He shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world... Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed... into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into (shall have) life eternal. (Matthew 25:31-46).

It came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. (Luke 19:15).

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. (Luke 13:25-30).

It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this (that is, when the death state ends in resurrection) the judgement (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 22:11-12).

Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge both the quick and the dead (1 Peter 4:5; 1:17; 1 Corinthians 3:13; Revelation 11:18; John 12:48).

That we may have boldness in the day of judgement (1 John 4:17)

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the heart (1 Corinthians 4:5).

1 It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body, and there is a spiritual body... The dead shall be raised incorruptible. On this, Dr. Thomas says in Anastasis, "This is not the form of sound words delivered by Paul. He says, The dead ones (oi-nekroi) shall be rebuilt (egerthesontai) incorruptible. This I believe and teach. He does not say oi nekroi anastesontai - the dead ones shall stand up incorruptible: he does not teach such an anastasis or standing up as this; for both the just and the unjust will stand up; but they will not stand up incorruptible; it will only those of them who so stand up that will become incorruptible when their rebuilding is completed in their putting on incorruptibility and life, or in being clothed upon with their house which is from heaven, when they are quickened by the spirit, because their account rendered is well pleasing to the Judge."
