Nope...not ever, at least by God. If you have commited a crime against the laws of your country you will.

In heaven, God throws that sin into the lake of fire never to be remembered again. But on earth there are usually natural consequences to deal with. God does expect us to take responsibility for our actions. God's forgiveness is not a "get out of jail free" pass. We must do what we can to make amends on earth. It's not enough to ask God's forgiveness, we must ask for people's forgiveness too.

No once he forgives you he literally can't remember those particular sins anymore. He'll never bring it up again. What goes around will come around for bad things unless you repent and ask God for forgiveness.

No, you are forgiven.
God puts your forgiven sins in the deepest sea and forgets about them.
Do you ever find yourself in a rowboat with a fishing pole...trying to drag up that old stuff? Well then, let it go...God has.
It is the enemy that will continue to throw it in your face, trying to cause guilt and or shame.
God loves you and will forgive you if you are sincere. ((Remember, he knows your heart...and your motives.))

Nope. Because God not only forgives he forgets. He purifies and cleanses you with the blood of Christ. You area child of God, pure and blameless in his sight.
You will still be judged according to how well you did with your blessings and doing good.

When God forgives, he remembers the sin no more.

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not..."
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God..."
"For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how uch sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, WHEREWITH HE WAS SANCTIFIED, an unholy thing and hath done despite (insulted) unto the Spirit of Grace?"
"For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them."
"For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree: Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The (natural) branches (Jews) were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well, because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity: but toward thee, goodness, IF THOU CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS; OTHERWISE THOU ALSO SHALT BE CUT OFF."
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you...If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love..."

Everyone is enjoying or suffering the resultant action of his karma(previous activities good of bad). But one who is in the devotional service to God, although he has to suffer the resultant action of his past karma, but that is reduced to the minimum.

Yes you'll be punished. That's the great thing about worshipping me. I don't punish you for anything.
