That is true for all the gospels.
PS. There is no Satan. 😉

Every man and woman must believe for themselves that is why we shall all stand before God and be judged. I have accepted His offering of salvation (i.e. His Son Jesus Christ). You have already made your decision.

Don't speak of being open minded while you are so closed minded about your (Ridiculous)opinion of Paul that you cannot see the truth.
And by the way, God tells us in the Bible to never let HIS WORD (the BIble) out of our thouhts (mind) and that it should always be in out hearts and thoughts because then only can we grow spiritualy to what He intended us to be. So to me, being open minded (open to false interpretations and doctrines) is against the word of God and exactly how Satan get people to turn their backs on the TRUTH.

Why do you have to be judged if you are already saved? Seems like a waste of time - obviosuly God already knows, why not go directly to where you are meant to?

God is well-pleased with you. Keep on believing the Word of God and telling others the gospel.

Why am I not surprised that you should see being judged only as negative. God's children will stand before God and will still give reconing for their actions and what they have done with their lives and acording to that the Bible says we shall receive crowns. The rest of the world who rejected the Truth, (Jesus Christ) , will be judged for that and for what they have done in their lives. But to understand the occurances of what will happen when Jesus returns you need to read Revalation and the sermons of Jesus in the Gospels. But understanding the Word of God comes through the Spirit of God inside you.
We would be souls, about to spend all eternity in heaven, and one assumes see God often, yet we are given crowns and have to tell God about what we did with our lives, despite him already knowing exactly what we did with them?
Seems vaguely narcissistic.

We?
It has been made clear all the good acts in the world aren't going to help one get to heaven, because God doesn't recognise people doing good things with good intentions, only people who believe in Jesus.
Yet for some reason on death we get to go to judgement, and go on about what we have done for our lives? Is it so God can laugh at all the good people that will be going to hell?
Or the people who found there to be many valid reasons why there is no God (clearly taken in by God's tricky nature?)
And my goodness, it has been implied God would be sad to see a single person go to hell, yet he is going to personally look billions in the eye and tell the majority:
"Sorry, you didn't believe/believed wrongly. You get an eternity in hell" -
And then he hands out crowns?

They chose to go to Hell by virtue of choosing to reject salvation that is available only through Jesus Christ.
