There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus (Rom. The blood of Jesus Christ, the very one sitting on the bema-seat, has cleansed us from all sin. In fact, it never says that the believer will be judged, but “manifested” and called to “give an account”. This session is different from the other two, because the believer’s destiny is secure, and there is no fear of judgment. For believers, the judgment seat will most likely take place after we are caught up to be with the Lord at the rapture.5:10). When will the judgment seat take place? Will all men appear before the same judgment seat together? I believe scripture teaches that the judgment seat will take place in three great sessions of judgment. “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” (2 Cor. 32:1). Who will stand before that judgment seat? All men, believers and unbelievers, will appear before the judgment seat, and their lives will be reviewed. One day, Christ will have His true bema-seat, and He will judge righteous judgment (Isa. Every bema-seat of worldly monarchs has been corrupt. It is the same word for the platform Herod sat on in Acts 12:21 on that fateful day when he refused to give God the glory. 27:19 and John 19:13 for the raised platform that Jesus stood on accused before the Jews, called Pavement, or in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 5:10), which means ‘raised platform’, or ‘dais’. As the judge of all men, the Lord Jesus Christ will hold a solemn tribunal, or judgment seat.

The reason for the Son's being invested solely with this authority is given in John 5:27 because He is the Son of man.

In John 5, the Lord Jesus explained that God the Father has chosen to give up His right to judge men, so that the Son of man will have that place exclusively. Judgment as a whole, and in all its forms, is committed to the Son 'that man whom he hath ordained' (Acts 17:31).
