If we are completely cleansed of all sin, for which sin will you be Judged?

Any sin that you either haven't, or unwilling to, repent of.
 
1 John 1
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin
 
If you're purified from all sin, why would you call yourself a sinner?
 
1 John 1
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin

This is true, however, in order to be cleansed of a sin you first must repent of it and ask forgiveness.
 
1 John 1
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin

if we walk in the light
 
1 John 1
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin

if we walk in the light


True, but do we always walk in the light? No. Which is why we are called to constantly ask forgiveness of our sins, which He will always be ready to forgive, should we ask for it with a repentant heart.
 
I believe I am going to be judged for all my sins. Both pre and post acceptance of Christ.

I will stand before Him and He is going to go through all my sins. And when He is finished, as He reaches for the giant red lever that opens the trapdoor to hell, Jesus is going to slide in next to me and say "Hey Pops, check it." Then he'll hold up his scared hand and give me a sideways glance with a little wink. God glances towards an angel holding the lambs book of life and the angel gives Him a slight head nod. Jesus grabs my shoulder and says "Welcome home" as God hugs me and ushers us towards the pearly gates.

Grace is getting what you don't deserve. Mercy is saving you from what you do.
 
Matthew 12:31-32 Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

32 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come.
 
To understand this, we must first determine when judgment occurs. The church is being judged now...

1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Notice Rev 20...

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

There is no mention of judgment on these, they were already judged during their life. Now notice those raised in the Great White Throne Judgment...

Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

These are judged at this future resurreciton.

Also the third resurrection, the resurrection to damnation as Christ put it in John 5:29 and Daniel referred to it in Dan 12:2...

Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The church is judged now...

1Co 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Co 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

We need to inspect our own lives now and correct our faults and sins that we are not judged by Christ. If we do not, or do not recognize our faults and sins, Christ will judge and correct us...

Heb 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Heb 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Heb 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Heb 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Heb 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
Heb 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
 
John 15
3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 Abide in Me, and I in you
 
Can someone as old as me truly be cleansed from the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life? Only through my sincere repentance, and only then with a generous portion of God's grace through Christ. Trust in the Lord.
 
the only unforgivable sin is rejection Jesus as the savior

no one is or will ever be perfect

we sin even when we are not aware what we've done
 
I'm sorry, sin is taken by Grace through faith not by any actions in our part
 
From Rom 2:6-11 and 1 Pet 1:17 and 2 Cor 5:10 and Rev 20:12,13 each man will be judged according in to his works, whether those works are good or evil, obedient or disobedient, righteous or unrighteous. One whose works were good, righteous, obedient are the ones who sins have been cleansed and will be saved. Those whose works were evil, unrighteous, disobedient are those whose sins have not been cleansed and will be lost. So the type of work a person does is the standard by which God will judge. So it amazes me how some will say works have nothing to do with salvation when works have everything to do with salvation and where a person will be in eternity.

One commentator put it:

Revelation 20:12-13: “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 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.”

God says our judgment will be based on what is written in the books. These will include the Bible: John 12:48 – “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him – the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.” But it will also include a record of what we have done. For the unrighteous, these books will contain all of the unrighteousness/sin they ever committed, to include the opportunities they had to obey God and how they refused. For the righteous, these books will contain all of the righteous things/works they did, since God will not hold them accountable for their sins because the blood of Christ has removed them.
