My question is what do you do with a verse that says believers will not be judged?
John 5:24
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.[/quote]
Just about every Christians believe they are truthful Christians. But Jesus will be the judge if we are true Christians or not on judgment day.

But my question is, how can everyone face judgement if believers will not be judged?

Or 1 Peter 4:17, which tells us it is time for judgement to begin with believers.
17For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?[/quote]
That's what I claimed. Those verses are all saying we all will be judged and Christians will be the first ones to be judged.

Well, THAT verse tells us it is time for judgement to begin with us. I think it happens when we have faith - at that time, we have eternal life. To have eternal life is to be saved. So we have already been justified.
