Raptured? When?

Sis. Kathy:
> No judgment for the Church? What about:

Me:
There are two judgment seats: The Judgment seat of Christ
and the White Throne Judgment.  Notice that the White
Throne judgment follows the resurrection of the damned?

Jesus discribes this in:

Matthew 25:33
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats
on the left.

Sheep and goats are all in the "flock" and Jesus is
"separating" them according to the works done in their
flesh, His works, NOT the works of the one judged (Christ
ministering to Christ in the flesh of the Church) and those
who have "neglected so great a salvation" receive the
reward for the works they have done "apart" from Christ.

Jesus "nails" this down in:

Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the
will of my Father which is in heaven. 

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out
devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Sis:
> I know some say we are currently being judged and I do
agree that for us there will be no condemnation (carrying
out of a sentence upon us) for Jesus Christ has already
paid the price.

Me:
We are the "servants" of Christ, even the backsliders. 
When it says that Jesus said that He never "knew" these it
means "we were never "intimate.""

> time = 5550. chronos, khron'-os; of uncert. der.; a space
of time (in gen., and thus prop. distinguished from G2540,
which designates a fixed or special occasion; and from
G165, which denotes a particular period) or interval; by
extens. an individ. opportunity; by impl. delay:--+ years
old, season, space, (X often-) time (-s), (a) while.

This represents the end of this dispensation.  Note that it
says there is a "delay" while this angel is speaking to
"wrap things up."

Revelation 10
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when
he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be
finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.


When he shall "begin" to sound what God has declared shall
be finished.

Sis:
> Thanks for the good, in depth study.

Me:
I haven't read it yet but it does look "good."
