The judgment seat of Christ or bema-seat of Christ
Scripture gives us a reason not to judge one another: “For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. . . . So then each of us will give an account of himself to God” (Romans 14:10–12, ESV). None of us are qualified to be the Judge. Only the Lord Jesus is qualified, and all judgment has been entrusted to Him (John 5:22). We, as believers, will all stand some day before the judgment seat of Christ.
