Christian character differences persist eternally even among the saved

Evidence

DONALD GREY BARNHOUSE (Presbyterian pastor, pioneer of radio preaching, and author of many theological books) in his commentary on Romans said: “We can be sure that at the Judgment Seat of Christ there will be a marked difference between the Christian who has lived his life before the Lord, clearly discerning what was for the glory of God… and a nominal Christian… All will be in heaven, but the difference between them will be eternal. We may be sure that the consequences of our character will survive the grave and that we shall face those consequences at the Judgment Seat of Christ.” — Chuck Missler, The Kingdom, Power and Glory, 117
