Here is a passage taken from Gen 3. Here God states the consequences of the sins of Satan, Adam, and Eve.
14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
16 To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”
What is noteworthy here is that there are no eternal consequences to their sins. Once Adam and Eve die, there is no stated eternal consequences to their sins. Earlier we are told that if Adam and Eve eat of the tree, they will be"dying (physically), they shall surely die (spiritually)."
There is nothing in Genesis that implies that Adam and Eve will suffer any eternal consequences/condemnation for their sin.
The famous passage in Rom 5:12-21 shows the consequences of one's position in Adam or in Christ. In Christ is eternal life, in Adam all there is is positional condemnation which results in a person being born with spiritual death and physical death and an old sin nature. There is no stated eternal condemnation for those in Adam. Once again, sins are not the basis of eternal condemnation. Eternal condemnation is the result of rejecting God's offer of salvation.
