the reason for that is because of the belief that no one at the Great White Throne goes to heaven. but their support verse Revelation 20:6a Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but the verse does not teach that no one goes to heaven after facing the Great white throne judgement. But the Bible does not say that it says, Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. meaning their were some names found in the lambs book of life.

Revelation 20:12-13 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. the word the dead does not refere to spiritual dead but physically dead. this is where they also make a mistake by seeing the word dead and applying it a spriitualy dead. the context is clear it is only physical dead even though some are spiritually dead.

Old Testament peoples before and after the flood who followed after God in truth(very few), and Hebrew saints who died keeping the law by faith with a pure heart had their works recorded in the book of works. the final sacrifice of Jesus Christ was applied to their works because of their faith in God to cover their sins with those sacrifices which unknown to them were only a type. they did so with pure hearts not being hypocrates or religious. the application was done in 30 AD at Christ Cross and placed them in the lambs book of life. that form of salvation is not during this time it is a works based salvation that had to be done right or was useless. it is not a kingdom gospel that was duing the Jesus time and the Great Tribulation. But is similar in that it is a works based salvation by faith.
