You may have inadvertently overlooked the fact that there is only one extended "dress-rehearsal" type scene of the Judgment in the Gospels, authored by the Judge Himself no less.
You will find it at Matthew 25:31-46.

There's not a born again Christian in the entire chapter so it obviously can not doctrinally apply to a Christian...Spiritually absolutely...Good preachin' too...

Christians have been judged already and found to be just...

Mat 25:31  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 

When Jesus comes in his glory...When is that??? It's at the end of the Great Tribulation...And he sits on the throne of his glory...And where's that throne??? It's in Jerusalem...

Mat 25:32  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 
Mat 25:33  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 
Mat 25:34  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 

This is a physical kingdom...It a piece of land...Has nothing to do with the church...This is God's fulfillment of his promise to Israel...Just prior to this event, the church has returned to Earth with her new husband Jesus Christ and watch while Jesus wipes out his enemies on the Earth...

There is a lot more to this but no point in going into it since it won't be believed anyway...

The scene here is the Last Judgment. Jesus is talking to the whole human race, here, "All nations." Not just to Jews. Not just to Gentiles. Not to born-again Christians, or not-born-agains.

If He meant something else, He'd have said something else.

**This is a physical kingdom...It a piece of land.**

But we are in a rehearsal for a ‘spiritual kingdom,” which is much more important that a physical kingdom.
