Bible study Afterlife

This is a connecting series from another bible study page I delved into. What really happens when we die?

This article contains opinions based on the bible, please bare in mind that these are only opinions I have formed, it is up to you whether you agree with them or not.

It is my belief that we are sleeping, until Jesus comes to complete the first resurrection depicted in my recently completed Article Hell isn't how we think. 

Below are passages convincing me that we sleep until we are risen. Please remember to do your own research, this is my hypothesis. 

Luke 8:52
And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.”

Revelation 5:6
Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

Debunked

Some people will quote verses like the following verse, saying that there are already Spirits in heaven, you have to bare in mind the passage you are reading from. Revelation is all about end times. When Jesus does arise the holy dead and take them with him whilst Tribulation happens which I explain in the Article at the top of this page, he arises those holy dead on Earth, which their Spiritual bodies are arisen, and taken to heaven until the first resurrection. 

Hebrews 1:14
Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

Meaning:

This means that Angels are Spirits to serve the believers of Christ Jesus. 

Matthew 22:30
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

Meaning:

This means that in the first resurrection, people who are arisen, are like the angels in heaven. 

Luke 20:36
For they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

⏩'Meaning:

I believe the last few passages I quoted in this, explain how people accepted by god, are equal to the angels in heaven, I believe it means, that people will only go to Heaven in the first or second resurrection, that currently only Jesus, God and the angels are in heaven. 

Corinthians 15:42-44
So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

What this means:

This means that our physical body will not be risen by the Lord. Only our spiritual bodies. 

John 5:24
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

In conclusion:

If we do not worship the Anti-Christ who is the Devil's son, and we believe in Christ Jesus and his teachings, we pass the judgement depicted in the Article linked at the top of this page. We are already saved no matter our sins. But we stay asleep when we die until Jesus' return. 

Only non Christ believers who do not try to follow God's teachings, will face the Judgement of Christ. 

Christians do not go straight to heaven. We stay Spiritually asleep until the first resurrection explained in the Article at the beginning of this one. 

And sinful people who's sins are forgiven are resurrected in the first resurrection with the believers of Christ. Also sinful people who's good do not outweigh their bad, do not go to hell straight away. That will happen in the second resurrection. Again, all of this is explained in the Article at the top of this page.
