Non-christians what would you say to God at the Judgement?
Christians what would you say at our other Jugdement for the rewards you will receive?
edit: This is just off the top of my head, the op just kinda made something snap in my head. Maybe I'll think of something better later.
(Needless to say that I completely disagree with the scenario I think you are trying to paint here)

I don't think I would bother saying anything as God is reputed to be all knowing (so he knows whatever I might wish to tell him) and completely Just, so whatever I say won't really affect the judgement.
If he turns out not to be as reputed, then I will have to wait and see and decide what to say once I learn more.
What I say to you however is that you as a Christian getting a reward (but not me), is in conflict with the claim that God is just.

There is no such assurance that a Christian will receive a reward at all.
As I hope you know Paul spoke of those saved yet so as through fire. And they lose any reward but will "suffer loss".
"If anyone's work which he has built upon the foundation remains, he will receive a reward;
If anyone's work is consumed, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire." (1 Cor. 3:14,15)
It seems clear to me. However, important to that judgment is how merciful we Christians have been toward others:
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." (Matt. 5:7)

Will he be dropping on his "astral knees" (or "light body knees" ) onto a cloud or .... ?
How do you see twiteheads disembodied "soul" as he "stands" before "God" ?
knees can't bend if there aren't any knees for bending. then he's going to toss you into the fire where you will burn forever. because, you know, he loves you.
