Its not sin that Adam passed on, it's the fallen state that resulted from that sin, and we still must wait for the Second Life to become fully restored to the original state.

Where is THAT in the Bible?

Exactly.

The New Testament clearly states that those who believe in God are not judged and those who don't have already been judged.

Everyone is judged according to their works.

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.

This is the verse I got it from:

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And while I can't prove anything from this verse taken out of context, this says what I meant.

What does "believeth on him" mean?

Oh, sorry. It means "believes in him", at least that is what I get from other translations. I shouldn't have used that translation.

It means you believe that he is equal to God the Father, that he became flesh, was crucified by Pontious Pilot, died, was buried, and rose the third day to eternal life.

Where does the author of "John" say that's what "believe on him" means?

It's self-evident. To believe "in" someone means you accept their existence. When I was a kid I believed in the tooth fairy. That's not sufficient in the case of Jesus, just to believe that he exists. To believe "on" someone means you accept what that person represents.
