We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved unto eternal life and the unsaved unto judgment and everlasting punishment.
We believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where they consciously await the first resurrection, when soul and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord.
· Luke 23:43 ; 2 Corinthians 5:8 ; Philippians 1:23 ; 3:21; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 ; Revelation 20:4-6 .
We believe that the souls of unbelievers are, at death, absent from the body and in conscious misery until the second resurrection, when with soul and body reunited they shall appear at the Great White Throne of judgment and shall be cast into the lake of fire, not to be annihilated, but to suffer everlasting, conscious punishment.
· Matthew 25:41-46 ; Mark 9:43-48 ; Luke 16:19-31 ; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 ; Jude 6-7 ; Revelation 20:11-15 .
