Why do these events in the Bible seem to indicate the dead in Christ do not go to judgment?

My question is based on an event that will happen immediately the Son of Man returns. The trumpet goes off and Jesus is revealed from the Spirit World to the whole creation.The dead in Christ are raised first and then those who are alive are quickly transformed and are caught to the air to meet Jesus alongside those who have been raised. Why would these believers still go to judgment after being received by Christ himself in the air? After all judgment is for those who are raised second? *1 Thesalonians 4:16-17* >For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. So they are received by the Lord of judgment himself, I believe in the **resurrection of life(first)** and the **resurrection of judgment(second)**, all human beings take part in one of those and not both. So why do some Christians hold the doctrine that Christians will be judged like the wicked. Jesus said believers have passed from death to life and hence avoiding judgment. *John 5:24* >Verily, verily I say unto you, he that heareth My Word and believeth in Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.
