Default Re: 1000 Years Discipline

"For we [the church members] must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive compensation for his deeds done through the body, in accordance with what he has done, whether good or bad."
Salvation (eternal life) is given based on faith, not works.

Nonetheless, it is also clear that we will be judged based upon our deeds.

So many of the American denominations stress the first point to a fault, and then belittle any talk of the second. The end result for many is that they expect to be exempt from judgement. "That's not for me, that's for the unbelievers."

Dangerous stuff... promotes a condition of lukewarmness, putting the congregations at risk.
