The dead were judged according to their works as recorded in the books.
None of that affects born againers...they get a free pass for unrepentant sin. NO PENALTY. Once saved, always saved. Can’t take it away from them. They can’t be UN-born. Their reward might mean that they get a few less jewels in their crown, BUT THEY ARE STILL GOING TO HEAVEN. Clear biblical teachings mean nothing (same for the pre tribulation rapture).
Somehow the Truth that we have a spirit, a soul / behavior mechanism of mind will and emotion- and a physical body is unacceptable to fit the twisting of scripture which is required to support their cult. With the born from above the spirit CANNOT sin because God's Spirit is abiding therein. The soul on the other hand will continue to sin, for which God has made provision with our Great High Priest.
But it is a mystery to the cultist that Jesus paid the SPIRITUAL price for sin, not the soulish price for sin. That latter price we cannot escape in this life for sin has consequences. But HE is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanses us when our SOUL confesses our sin. It is as if the cultist have avoided Hebrews 10 like a cobra in the grass.
