Salvation is not a reward that has been earned...it is the GIFT of GOD, not of WORKS lest any man boast.......
im not on about your salvation now,,, im on about your rewards in heaven ? waiting for you,, do you ever wonder about your rewards for doing good works..

Not really....that is up to the Lord and no need to surmise....be faithful earn more....don't be faithful they get burnt up...1st Corinthians 3.....the Lord is just....his judgment true and perfect.......his will, will be done....

Please try to read Peter The same English word "Judgemnt" is used to interpret both Greek words. Again the verse you used PROVES my point.. We are judged here on earth so we will not be judged (condemned) with the rest of the world.
The concept is simple. God will deliver His judgement, singular on all.
Those in the Lord walk in righteousness and forgiveness of sins, so have nothing to fear.

Those in the world are full of wickedness and rebellion and will be found guilty, and not
be written in the Lambs book of life.

Now mention of a judgement seat, where God will judge is not a different type of judgement.
You are trying to imply, you are saved, so though the judgement will be harsh your soul will
be saved. And I will say amen if you retain faith in Christ to the end.

Now after seeing how our personalities run through all we do, I would suggest putting to one
side mental illness our response will be consistent to our faith.

For me the whole issue is about presumption and understanding. I am not a rebellious son
forcing my way in because at some point I saw Christ, but I am a child of God walking in the
Spirit and in the right obedience of God, the fruit of His spirit bringing good works to bare.
I have faith in the cross and my Lord to forgive my failures and deem me righteous.

How this works is not something I understand except I trust His work in my heart and His
leading.

But for some it appears they look for exceptions rather than resting in love and acceptance,
to trust the Lord will lead us through and put all in His hands.

No one saves themselves....ever....the above view = a very weak god.........

and even the very works one may produce is Christ through them doing the work....this is another truth that seems to allude many!

There are no scriptures that support this view....salvation is not like putting pants on every day.....it is a once for all act....VERB TENSE, VERBIAGE and context proves this....

you do understand that your gospel is not correct right....and that eternity is at stake right

HAH nope not at all.......
Matthew 6:9–13 (ESV) "Pray then like this: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'
