Some folks say --
until you read Daniel 7 and 2 Cor 5:10.
I prefer the Bible.
Yep - that is one of the two texts...
"Investigative Judgment" is shorthand used by Adventists to mean
1. We must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give account for deeds done in the body whether they be good OR bad.
2. A judgment event in heaven where books are opened and court sits - and humanity is judged out of the things written in books.
3. A judgment event where judgment is passed in favor of the saints.
4. A judgment that proceeds along the lines defined by Romans 2
5. A judgment that takes place before the second coming during the same time where saints on earth are being persecuted. - while the everlasting gospel is being preached to the whole world.
2 Cor 5:10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad..
Rom 14: 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Yes that is part of the description just given.
Dan 7 -- the text I gave you and that you did not respond to...
“I kept looking
Until thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
His vesture was like white snow
And the hair of His head like pure wool.
His throne was ablaze with flames,
Its wheels were a burning fire.
10 “A river of fire was flowing
And coming out from before Him;
Thousands upon thousands were attending Him,
And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;
The court sat,
And the books were opened.
21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.
Rev 14
6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; 7 and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.”
The very things that you apparently claim - cannot possibly be so.
And then there is Romans 2 where we see the details of how decisions are being made in that judgment that Rev 14:7 is going on now while the everlasting gospel is being preached to the whole world.

Now back to the actual topic of this thread.
I think you are talking about what Christianity Today calls the 5th largest Christian denomination on planet earth (See Feb 2015 article)
the investigative judgment. This is a purely man-made invention
until you read Daniel 7 and 2 Cor 5:10.
I prefer the Bible.
10 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.
Yep - that is one of the two texts...
That is a long way from being the IJ and you know it.

Oh, Bob, why do you try to cover-up that little band of Adventists .
