A source? Well, yes:

1 Corinthians 3:12-15 "If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames."

This event of which Paul writes is in Heaven.

Paul's word was 'bematos'. Can you find a more severe seat reference for judgment, as in a condemnation to death for a crime? (Hint: Pilote or the Sanhedrin

A source? Well, yes:

You claimed "In Greece, the Bema Seat was the place athletes received their reward or shunning."

Strong's does not mention it. Neither is there any mention of Bema (βῆμα in Greek, בִּימָה in Hebrew) in the passage you posted. Do you have any source for the sports reference ?
