Is there one final judgment or two?

Are there always earthly consequences for our actions? How do we stay “positive” about God even in the midst of them? Is there one final judgment or two? What does 2 Corinthians 5:10 mean when it says “we must all appear” and then it speaks of being “recompensed”?
