As I understand scripture the determination of your destination is in this life on earth. The believer will stand before the "Bema Seat" but the only thing judged there are the works of the believer, to determine rewards. Those things that bring honor and glory to the Lord, we will receive a crown, stephanos- a garland or wreath, not a diadem.
The unbeliever will also be judged and the number of times they rejected the gospel and continued in unbelief, will determine the degree of their punishment.
