Witness Lee is the only one that I know of (did you here me, that I know of) that teaches that there will be a period of 1,000 years of outer darkness and gnashing of teeth for genuine, blood-washed Christians. (that did not live up to the standards that Lee himself made up) For many years me, I and the VAST majority of Local Churchers that I knew, considered that it would only be Local Churchers that would be the "overcomers" - all other Christians would be thrown into outer darkness while the rest of us Local Churchers were going to be in the marriage feast of the Lamb.
Now I'm sure you're going to say that Titus Chu never taught any such thing and that you never once heard of any such a teaching. Great. No problem...I'm happy for you!
But Witness Lee did absolutely say this and other abominable kinds of garbage. He taught this kind of bizarre, unbiblical stuff day-in and day-out for about 50 years that we have a record of. If you do not want to discuss this particular teaching (by way of confirming, defending or denying) then you are free to abstain from this thread. But please do not be dismissive of the other posters. Your questions have been answered but you just don't like the answers. FAIR ENOUGH! Don't like the answers! Let's discuss! We can't discuss if we dismiss each other!

Then are you saying that the believers and unbelievers will all be resurrected together? And that there is only one judgment seat for all? Then you must not distinguish between the judgment seat of Christ and the great white throne.

Now there is a fair question. Of course this assumes that the Millennial kingdom is a literal, actual 1,000 years. There are many wise, spiritual and highly educated people on both sides of this fence. I tend to lean towards the literal side, but I do not see any scriptural evidence that this will be a time of sever punishment for genuine Christians, much less a time of punishment for those who do not imbibe the ministry of any particular man or men.
