OK, on the topic of judgment, there are 2 different judgments in the Bible.
1. The Bema seat of Christ. This is the judgment of Christians. It is NOT a judgment of your sins. They are already forgiven and forgotten
Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
1 John 2:1,2 My little children, these things write I unto you, tha ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for our only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Propitiation carries w/it the idea of the price being paid for sins, and the wrath of God being averted. It is thru nothing that we have done, Christ has done it all.
Hebrews 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
However, we must appear b4 the Judgment seat of Christ to be judge for our works-NOT as a means of salvation, but to show what we've done for Christ AFTER salvation.
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15 For other foundation can no man lay that that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble-Every man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall test every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built upon it, he shall receive a reward if any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet as by fire.
There are other verses, but these are the main ones.
As for the unsaved, they will also be judged by their works, but they will meet a different end.
Revelation 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead that were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. this is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

We were after all praying for YOU in this situation.
