No one can argue that man will not be judged. All you have to do is use the verse:

Hbr 9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, Pretty clear. But there are two judgments. The first judgment is the one of the eternal judgment. Christians do not face that judgment.

Jhn 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

The second judgment is one of works which you have pointed out.

Interesting. My Bible says: 24 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life.

Very interesting case in point. The NIV says will have eternal life. The KJV says the same as the NAB (above). There is nothing about not being Judged. Christ is looking past their Judgement, since they do believe (with all that comes with true belief).

You made the claim that Christians do not have an obligation to live any differently before God than other people. I would suggest your verses on our judgment would say otherwise.

Perhaps consulting some other versions of Scripture might be of some utility.

Perhaps I'm not following your definition of "judgment". Can you explain what you are referring to?

For example, if the Catholic Church declares someone a "Saint", have they been judged?
