D
Have you tried to study it before. In the NT we are told of two judgments where people are judged for their works. In rev 20, the great white throne, in 2 cor 5, we have the judgment seat, where each mans works will be judged.
If we investigate, we see two types of judgemnets based on two entirely different greek words being used.
Revelation 20:13
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
In this Passage the greek word wiht the root Krino "ekrithesan" is used, this word speaks of a court of law. where judgment is passed down on a person who has been charged of a crime, A guilty or innocent verdict is pronounced, and judgment "krino" is passed as to what must be done to pay for the crime committed.
In this judgment
1. All the dead are delivered to God, Children of God are said they will be resurrected by him, not delivered to him, plus they were born agan so they are not dead but alive
2. All who participate in this judgment we are told are found guilty and punished.
the second judgement mentioned,
2 Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
The greek word used here is the root Bema "bematos" and was used in reference to the raised seat of the judge who would reward the athletes with the reward they earned. Based on the work they did, and the result of that work. It is the reward Paul said he continued to run the race for. It is the reward Paul said earlier where we will be tried by fire, if our work endure it will be given gols silver precious stone, but if it is bured we suffer loss, But we ourselves will still be saved,
1. Everyone here is here to recieve reward or lack of for all the work he did while children of God
2. All here are saved, even at the end, and not delivered to judgment.

I'm fully aware very few agree with my theory. I even know I can be just as wrong as the next guy in that belief, however, because I believe that I see it as a grand book of God telling his kids back then, and then reminding his kids now and in the future, that ultimately he is victorious no matter how it seems at the moment. Trust him. He's the doer and in his doing, he's the one who gets it all done. All he asks is for us to hold on while he holds on to us.
And it helps to know, the only thing I want out of heaven is to see God glorified forever. To glorify God forever in the way I was designed to. I don't care if I get a front seat at the banquet table. (I can't see me doing that, so, not really in this for that.) I don't care if I get a mansion or a shack. I can't see me hanging in either if it means I'm not face-to-face with him. I just want to be part of the eternal worship session, finally able to no longer long, but to be there with him constantly and giving him what he's due.
