Thursday, April 12, 2001
Point 2. The Judgment Seat of Christ is the Time of Distribution of Surpassing Grace Blessings, 2CO 5:10; 1CO 3:11-15; 1CO 9:24-27.
The Judgment Seat of Christ eliminates any necessity of judging or maligning any other believer, ROM 14:10-11.

Point 3. The Reversionist, the Backslider, or the Carnal Believer Can Lose Supergrace and Surpassing Grace Blessings, but Not His Salvation, 2TI 2:11-13.

JON 2:9 Salvation is from the Lord.
Point 4. In the Old Testament, “Stephanos” was related to the eternal Heavenly City, HEB 11:8-16.
The eternal heavenly city is used to designate surpassing grace blessings and rewards for the patriarchs and leaders of Israel, HEB 11:10,16,23.
“asteion [a city] to [pertaining] paidion [an infant]” = “an infant pertaining to a city.”
“Cities” in the Old Testament are used as the equivalent of crowns in the New Testament.
LUK 19:17 “Well done, good slave, because you have been faithful in a very little thing, be in authority over ten cities.”
