 '''Immediate judgment''' is a doctrine within [[Christianity]] which teaches that unsaved Christians face judgment immediately after physical death.  The doctrine of [[salvation]] teaches that salvation means being spared, or "saved", from judgment. Jesus said in John 3:18, "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God."

 Immediate judgment stands in contrast to the [[Seven Day Adventist]] doctrine of soul sleep which states that individuals unconsciously sleep in the grave awaiting a bodily resurrection. Despite being propagated by many denominations, such as the [[Roman Catholic Church]] and some [[Protestant]]s, soul sleep advocates claim it is a form of [[liberal denial]]; instead of admitting that physical death is a sleep, which allegedly the Bible affirms and reiterates dozens of times, it attempts to construct a false doctrine based on flimsy usage of New Testament verses usually taken out of context. [[Seventh-day Adventists]] also criticize immediate judgment as a heretical teaching.

 Another excerpt from the third Gospel often cited as purported evidence for immediate judgment is {{bibleref|Luke|23|43}} where Jesus assured the thief on the cross of a place in Heaven. According to ''Ministry Magazine'', most translations misplace a comma to indicate a meaning contrary to Jesus's message.<ref>Paroschi, Wilson (2013).
