Believers who committed sins will not be humiliated in the Day of Judgement,

The book of deeds of every one will be given to him to read what he has done. (Sura Al-Israa', Verse 13 and 14.)
There are certain sinners who will be degraded in front of People in that day, especially those who were arrogant and committed crimes against innocents.

Allah is Al-Sattar, who does not disclose the sins of the sinners, but only those enemies of the Proohet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt ( AS).

Bismihi ta'ala

Based on the common tradition narrated from Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.), when asked about the meaning of Surah Qaaf, verse, 15, he (a.s.) replied that there were Adams before and there will be Adams after.

The Almighty says in the Holy Quran:

وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

"And He creates what you do not know." (Surah al-Nahl, verse 8).
