You might want to read Revelation. Everyone is resurrected. Jesus and the apostles lay plainly that everyone will be brought back to life. The righteous enter into life, and the unrighteous experience krysis (judgment). They will be examined, but God is merciful and will no doubt reconcile sinners that repent.
Gehenna is the second death. It is literal called that in Revelation. To experience a second death, one must no doubt experience a second life - and if you read Revelation 20 that is precisely what is offered to every single human being. For a thousand years mankind will experience a theocracy led by God. Satan will be bound and unable to deceive anyone during that time.
After that theocratic order is ended and all are brought back into spiritual alignment, God will allow Satan to be released and attempt to thwart Him. Only after ALL of this is the entire world seated before the great white throne and judged. Seriously, go back and read Revelation 20. You're the one picking & choosing what to believe. And in case you're wondering, Satan is still loose and hoping people think God is a condemnatory bigot. He doesn't want people to believe they are saved. He wants them to believe God is unjust and cruel, that he punishes temporal, finite beings with infinite punishment.

Beware of the False Gospel of Universalism !
Rom 2:28-29
28
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision,
which is outward in the flesh:
29
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that
of the heart,
in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
