If you are talking about "our deeds" being our sins, then when it comes time for us to be judged, those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ will be adjudicated "not guilty". We are clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ himself and not our own. Those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as savior, will be judged "guilty" and will pay the ultimate penalty for their sin which is eternal separation from God. Jesus said, "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18.
The works we have done as Christians, will be judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ and will determine rewards or loss of rewards based upon the quality of those deeds - those based upon faith or not by faith - but we will still be saved so this judgment does not determine our destiny.
AMEN! That is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
You must have missed some verses (especially Paul's) that say otherwise.
A very nice fantasy, but that is not what Jesus, Paul, Peter, James and John say. That is not what the verses I have posted say. They say that every thing that every man has ever done will be uncovered and examined and Judged. Everything. Every word and deed. Whether committed or omitted (remember Matthew 25 - Lord, whenever did we not give food and drink to You?). None of the authors qualify it in any way.

Rewards? Do you guys really think of Heaven as positions at a table or seating in a stadium? Do you think that one person will get a bungalow and the next guy a 50,000 square foot mansion?
Revelation 22: 1 Then the angel showed me the river of life-giving water, 1 sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of its street. On either side of the river grew the tree of life 2 that produces fruit twelve times a year, once each month; the leaves of the trees serve as medicine for the nations. 3 Nothing accursed will be found there anymore. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. 4 They will look upon his face, 3 and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 Night will be no more, nor will they need light from lamp or sun, for the Lord God shall give them light, and they shall reign forever and ever.
That is the reward for those Judged for Salvation: to be with God forever and ever, not to get a 60" LCD TV instead of a 32" plasma.
