Not if you're a Christian. Jesus taught that judgement is reserved for God alone and the judgment will not come of this world until Jesus returns or one passes on.
For it to be as you say the Gospels must be wrong. If the Gospels are wrong then all of Christianity is put into doubt. It's an imperative to Christianity for the Gospels to be correct because if Jesus didn't say that then one can question if he rose from the dead, if his resurrection never occurred then one can question if he's the son of God, if he is not the son of God then Christianity is wrong.
No matter the sect of Christianity one believes the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John MUST be considered to be fact or the whole argument collapses. Interestingly enough the Gospels contradict the rest of the Bible in many cases yet those are not the tenets of Christianity and thus are not imperative.
