Will the Bride Go Through the Great White Throne Judgement and Be Judged?
1) Direct answer
No. The Bride will not stand at the Great White Throne to be judged. She has already passed from judgment into life and will be with Christ in that hour.
2) Scriptural explanation
- John 5:24: “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
- Romans 8:1: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.”
- Revelation 20:6: Those in the first resurrection “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years,” and “on such the second death hath no power.”
- Revelation 20:11-15 shows the Great White Throne after the thousand years, where the dead are judged.
- 1 Corinthians 6:2-3: “Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? … we shall judge angels.”
- Revelation 3:21: The overcomer sits with Him in His throne.
3) Simple clarifying logic
Now notice, the White Throne comes after the Millennium. By then the Bride has already been caught up, united to the Bridegroom, and has reigned with Him a thousand years. The Scripture says the saints will judge the world, not be judged with the world. The Bride’s sins were judged at Calvary; she stands justified. She may appear at the judgment seat of Christ for reward and placement (2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Corinthians 3:13-15), but not for condemnation at the Great White Throne.
4) Reinforcing statement
It’s not the Bride on trial there; it’s the rejected Word judging the unbelieving. The Bride is with the Judge.

Now wait, let me get this one first. Let's see! "Will the..." No. This questions here is this: "Will there be miracles done by the bride?" Yes, sir! It's being done right now. That's right! See? But don't look for something that great---or bring the heavens and close the heavens, it rain not. That goes into the Jews now, see. That doesn't pertain to this at all; that's Moses and Elijah to the Jews, not to this church at all. Read the first three chapters of Revelations; you get what the church is right there. That'...

CAB 9:E-109
Now then, there will not be one person who will sit in the throne of the Lord Jesus Christ unless he has been living that Word. Your prayers, your fastings, your repentances--no matter what you present to God--none of that will gain you the privilege of sitting in that throne. It will be granted only to the WORD Bride. As the throne of the king is shared with the queen because she is united to him, so only they who are of that Word even as He is of that Word will share that throne.

...ut to that church. She is soul, body, and spirit, property of that church. She has no mind of her own. She can't have, when she takes that last veil. No mind of her own, no will of her own. See out here that Satan makes them, his bogus, like the true? The true church of Christ (the bride) is so sold out to Him and His promised Word, till the very mind that is in Christ is in you. What a difference! And we find today, that the modern church, the modern world church, the modern world church and also that the spiritua...

Watch, outside the gates of the walls spread across the new earth, nations will dwell in eternal peace. Now watch, honored kings will bring their glory into it; no sin can be there. No more bobbed-haired women will enter that city; I'll guarantee you that. No more short wearing, cigarette smoking, whoremongers, whores, or liars, idolators (whatever they was), won't enter that city. No, it'll all be over; sin'll be gone. Nothing to defile its holiness shall enter there. That's what He said. All has passed away forev...

Now, this... Then God filled with the Holy Spirit... Then He set His church out to glorify it. On the second coming, here comes the church back, the bride. Now watch. See whether they go through the tribulation period. He said, "These virgins, that they come and said, 'Give us of your oil.'" "The Bridegroom comes!" The sound went out, "Behold, the Bridegroom is come. Go ye out to meet Him." And these virgins, who were virgins, holy, sanctified (think of it), holy, sanctified people without the baptism of the Holy G...
