Default Who Will Be Judged?

It is true that the saved will be judged, but that judgment will be prior to, or at beginning of, the Millennial reign.
Quote:
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:10)

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. (Romans 14:10)
At this judgment, the saved will be judged for their works...
Quote:
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. (1 Corinthians 3:13)

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. (1 Corinthians 3:14)

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. (1 Corinthians 3:15)
Man is judged at the Judgment/Bema seat of Christ for his works, the deeds he has done in his body...not for his sins.
Quote:
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (Revelation 20:5)
At the end of the thousand years, Satan will be loosed to wreak havoc on the saints. Satan and his dominions will surround the saints. At this time, God will rain fire down from heaven and devour them. Question: Who is being devoured at this point in time? Answer: Satan and the workers of unrighteousness.
Quote:
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:7-10)
After this event, Satan is cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone and "the dead, both small and great" stand before God to be judged. See question and answer above for who "the dead" are. It is obviously the unrighteous dead who are being judged and not the saved. One who faces judgment at the Great White Throne has NO hope of eternal life in Christ. That one is LOST eternally.
Quote:
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 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. (Revelation 20:11-13)
Jesus Himself said that the saved would not be judged at the Great White Throne judgment:
Quote:
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. (John 12:47-48)
Those who reject Christ are judged at the Great White Throne judgment.

For a great sermon on this topic, I recommend Judgment is Coming by Dr. David Peacock (Bible Believers Baptist Church, Jacksonville, FL)
