Deferred Adjudication

[Speedpass]

I know it is a legal term, but isn't it used as a theological term?

Never heard it used.

Deferred adjudication basically means that the final judgment in a situation has been deferred until a later time.

If that is true, I am not sure it holds a place in biblical theology.

The concept of Deferred Ajudication doesn't seem to be scripturally consistent. Scripture says that we are judged when we sin, and that the judgement is summarily one of eternal damnation. We don't pay the price until we die, but we are judged before that.
