Just a thought, not saying that I prescribe to it.  |
I know some UPC & ALJC ministers who beleive that when a person dies they go to be with the Lord, as in heaven. That's not what I understand from reading my bible. I do beleive a persons spirit goes back to the Lord at death and the soul rest until time of the rapture or time of judgement.
Why would God send anyone to heaven or hell at time of death only to be called back to be judged during the white throne judgement? There would be no need for it.
