According to Paul, there is a day when God will judge the secrets of human hearts. "This will take place on the day when God judges people's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares." Romans 2:16.
"But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God." Romans 14:10.
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." 2 Corinthians 5:10.
The official Millerite Adventist doctrine on the judgment is noticeably different:
The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son (John 5:22). Christ will not judge believers (John 5:24). He will not even accuse the wicked (John 5:45). Nevertheless, Jesus Christ will confirm the judgment that we have of ourselves. Notice that, in this judgment, Christ merely listens to all the confessions made and responds accordingly (Matthew 25:14-30).
John 3
16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.” John 3:16-21.
The final, awesome settling of destiny in Matthew 25:14-30 cf. Luke 19:11-27 is represented by the long and extraordinarily solemn silence in heaven as witnessed by the Apostle John in a vision. It began when Christ opened the book of Destiny (Revelation 8:1) on October 23rd 1844 at 12AM Eastern-Standard Time.
Christ is now finalizing the judgments of individuals that are allegedly in the kingdom of God.
Matthew 7:1-2
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Luke 6:45
"The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart."
Matthew 12:37
"For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
Mark 4:21-22
He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.”
1 John 3:21
"Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God."
Should Millerite Adventists apologize to the Apostle Paul?

John's symbolic participation in the Millerite movement and in Christ's measuring work
The Millerites ate an open book (Daniel 12:4). John ate an open book (Revelation 10:8-9). The consequences of the Millerites eating the open book was a sweet then bitter experience. John's reaction to eating the open book was also sweet, then bitter. Immediately following that Great Disappointment, John was asked to "measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it." Revelation 11:1. Indisputably, prophets are known to participate symbolically in the judgments of God (Ezekiel 4:1-8). It's very reasonable to conclude therefore that John participated symbolically in Christ's measuring of professing Christians and the Church, which began October 23rd 1844 at 12AM Eastern-Standard Time.
