Life after death and judgement when? [Spirituality & Religion]
When Christ was crucified, one of the thieves had asked Jesus why he did not save himself as he had done nothing wrong to deserve crucifixion. Jesus answered him by saying that he would be with him in heaven that day.
Christ also stated in His teachings that you must be born again and if you confessed your sins and believed in His forgiveness of sins, you would have everlasting life after death. Christ also said that it is natural for us to die, then judgement, but the gift of life is eternal for those who believe in Him.
Now, in the book of Revelations, when Christ returns to earth, (His second coming,) it states that the dead in Christ shall rise from the grave.
Question 1. Assuming you are born again, have followed and believed in Christ's teachings, etc., when you physically die and are buried, do you, (your soul,) go to heaven immediately?
Question 2. If so, are you judged by God then or must one wait until Christ returns and are risen from the grave before you are judged and able to enter Heaven?
