I have a question re: the saints’ or church judgment where they receive their rewards etc. I think someone called it the bema judgment or something like that. do you know about that? Where can I find reference to it in the Bible.

A. The so-called bema seat judgment gets its name from the Greek language in 2 Cor. 5:10 where it’s translated into English as the judgment seat of Christ . In 1 Cor. 3:12-15 this judgment is described, clearly stating that it’s for believers and involves things we do after we’re saved. In 1 Cor. 4:5 we’re told that the basis for this judgment will be the motives of our hearts and the reward will be praise from God.
