The document discusses two judgments that will occur: the Bema Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne Judgment. The Bema Judgment Seat of Christ is where believers will give an account of their works and potentially receive rewards, but not punishment. The Great White Throne Judgment is where unbelievers will be judged for their sins and sentenced to eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire. Both judgments will involve examination of one's works and secrets according to biblical standards.
