we still will be judged because we are still capable of sinning and of not asking for forgiveness for our sins . we now know the difference between right and wrong ,good and evil as set out by God . we are now responsible Christians and we have no excuse . i acknowledge my sinfullness every day ,in prayer to God and i ask Him to forgive my sinfullness every day through Christ . someone in the book of Acts , who has been baptized into Christ , wants to be able to pass on the gifts of the Holy Spirit for money . a married couple , who are supposed to be baptised Christians , lie to Peter about some money . read the book of Acts and see what happens to them . these are not non believers , they are supposedly Christians . the lessons are there for us to learn from .
1 Peter 4:17 reads "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:..
( In this chapter Peter is exhorting the church "the house of God" which was facing persecution, to persevere.
They were also struggling to separate from the former worldly sins that had once enslaved them (verses 1-4).
Peter reminds them that the wicked will face God's judgment (verse 5) but that believers in Christ must hold themselves to a higher standard than they once did.
In 1 Corinthians 3:9-11 we see Paul mentions a foundation being layed. "Jesus is the precious cornerstone of this foundation
This is the first and most important part of a house or any building being built. "The walls, floors and roof, all depends on the perfect placed cornerstone!
That's important!
Also see Isaiah 28:16.
1 Peter 2:6-9 speaks much on this as well.
Paul mentions this in Ephesians 2:19-22. "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God THROUGH THE SPIRIT.
Matthew 16:18 Jesus states, upon this rock I will build MY CHURCH;
Everything we do as members of the house of God must be done by the Spirit of God!
That's all important!! Are we living our life and ministering in the spirit.
That what is being Judged in 1 Corinthians 3:6-15. NOT OUR PLACE IN CHRIST BUT OUR WORK "BY CHRIST"
So, Look at verses (14-15)
"If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
If any man's work shall be burned, HE SHALL SUFFER LOSS: BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED; yet so as by fire.
my question if we are forgiven why would you have to go before a judgement seat?
A response to you previously.
If you look at 1 Peter 4:1-19.

Perhaps someone would like to expand on this.
God bless.
