For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16

But the life/death decision is not made until after the 1000 years, where we will be judged by the Father. If our deeds are found insufficient at that judgement, we will retain eternal life, but will not be ruling and reigning in the New Jerusalem. Rather we will be living as the Nations, content with the water of life and the leaves of the tree to sustain us forever.

This is what I mean by eisegesis, there are no verses that explicitly say such thing. To arrive at this conclusion you have to cast the idea onto the text, and form it to fit the doctrine rather than pull the doctrine from the text.
If there’s a verse that
explicitly says what’s quoted above…Or a verse that says
explicitly believers who are born again will be cast into outer darkness for 1,000 years because they didn’t have enough works or christ..I’m happy to adjust my opinion.
