The Judged will be sinners who did not have Christ or thought they had Him. Before we knew Christ our deeds retracted the Law. And anyone who lives with no savior(meaning no faith in Christ) have not the free gift of grace and are judged according to the law in which they fall under.
Galatians 3:12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”

Is there then a rare, medium rare, and well done sinner? There is a mention of being beaten with more stripes, who knew to do right and did not (Luke 12), but this? Is there then a Cookbook, as well as the Book of Life?
Seriously, where is it indicated there's a different duration in the fire at, I presume, the Great White Throne? I've never seen this, but would be fascinated to see something in scripture about this.

What Paul did was to teach the law apart from the customs, traditions, and our own moral values some like to throw in it.
It is about God's morals in our life on how we should live, not on our own morals.
We are told by our Lord what we are to do to be saved, then we are also told the signs that follow how one who is saved will walk. Works do not save, but faith and works go hand and hand.
One can not have true faith with out the other.

Malachi 4:3 says that some will be burnt up and we will walk on their ashes, now other scriptures say some get eternal punishment like Matthew 25 and it also says that the antichrist and false prophet will burn for eternity. Now if we walk on some of their ashes you can take that not all will face an eternity in the pit of hell.

Don't see the ashes of Malachi a statement of what happens at the second resurrection, any indication anybody will be walking on their enemies' ashes at the Great White Throne: you'd sort of have to jump around in the lake of fire to do this, wouldn't you? Nor is it clear how this can be extrapolated as an eternal issue, rather this is about the day of the Lord, which is in the Bible the tribulation and return of the Lord to put down rebellion, isn't it? Isn't Malachi 4 about the second coming, in other words?

This shallow teaching that all sinners are as bad as all the other sinners is wrong. This is a big twist of truth to make sinners few better and come to Jesus because, we are all the same, and in Jesus there is free forgiveness and you can stay in your sins. This also leads to the abandonment of capital punishment , because we are all equally bad. This is baloney! Some sinners are worse than others, some sins are worse than other sins . And some saints are holier than others. I think the rewards for Christians will be gives in the Millennial reign of Jesus on earth. the parables teach this . Some rule over 5 cities, some rule over 10 cities,. More later. Love to all, Hoffco

All deeds are judged. But, for those from Christ's faith, though they might see all their works burnt up (those not done in conjunction with the Spirit), they themselves will be saved by the Fire (Holy Spirit) because of their faith in Christ. But, for those not from Christ's faith, they have nothing to deliver them from condemnation. This is why it says that faith and faith alone saves.

Jesus is all, is on to a good doctrine, LOL even if it sounds funny. 
The fact that we are all judged by our works, deeds and those who have works of faith, holy in God's sight, they get to go to the Heaven and the new earth . So, the wicked will suffer according to their degree of wickedness. Romans 2 and many other verses teach this. Love Hoffco

That is funny because you have liked many of my posts in the past where I speak a faith is to be active through love. Yet, it seems you have forgotten that in one simple post. Perhaps, you misunderstood me somewhere?
I would be the first to say that mere believe will not save and you have even complimented me for having said such. Have I now become your enemy?
Yes, I agree with you, and so many times before, that this faith alone is killing the Body of Christ, seeing that it says that a faith active through love is the only thing which matters to Christ.
