The Judgment Seat of Christ.

5. The Judgment Seat of Christ.

"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 Corinthians 5:10

Those who endorse "election" must realize that if it is impossible for a Christian to resist God's electing or choosing for service, then that Christian must have his old nature eradicated when he was saved.  Rather, this verse reveals to us that we are responsible for our actions.  We are going to be judged at the judgment Seat of Christ for our rewards or loss of rewards according to what we have done.  It is our choice.  In other words, if we were programmed to serve Christ with no choice or free will, then why be judged for something we are not responsible for?

We find in our criminal courts today that a person judged mentally incompetent is not held responsible for what they do.  The court would not judge a person guilty or not guilty if one is incapable of being responsible.  If we were elected to serve Christ with no free will, then we would make no decision that is contrary to God's will.  We would never get in a backslidden condition.  The doctrine of election attacks the Word of God from every angle.  It is never complimentary to God's Word nor does it agree with God's Word.  Remember, "we must ALL appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ."  You see, we stand responsible for the decisions that God allows us to make with our free will.
