That's if you have recieved eternal life. If you didn't value life much and were a scary ingrate "christian" (no offense), then you get annihilated from existance by hellfire from heaven 1000 years after the second coming of Christ. The Earth gets cleasned and becomes a New Earth and the saints walk on your ashes, muahahahahha!
Okaaayyy. The point is, i believe that some get afterlife and others cease existing.

There are two resurrections, the first takes place at the time of the second coming of Christ, or second presence, which is what the Greek word actually means and is translated as such anywhere else in the Bible. It involves those who get "immortal" life in heave. The second takes place after Armageddon, and involves everyone else, some to judgment, other to "everlasting" life. There are no words in the oldest biblical scrolls that translates as Hell or Hell Fire. They translate as Hades or the grave. After Armageddon, we will be working for 1000 years to turn the Earth back into a Paradise. As for those resurrected, they will not marry or be given in marriage, neither does it say what happens with them after the 1000 years.
Yes, people will cease to exist, which will also happen should after the thousand years, when Satan is released from his bonds to against test humanity. When don't he and the other fallen angels will cease to exist.

No, the Bible does not state the afterlife begins "on the Last Day," i.e. at the end of Jesus' Millenial Reign. The "afterlife" begins immediately after death -- that's why it's called the AFTER ... LIFE.
The Apostle Paul wrote at 2 Cor. 5:
"6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord."
As Paul explains, the spirits of believers who die are immediately present with Jesus Christ, APART from their (as yet) unresurrected bodies. The literal bodily resurrection occurs at the "first trump" written about in 1 Thes. 4:16; some believe this occurs at the Rapture, others believe it occurs in the middle or at the end of the Tribulation -- but the point here is that the resurrection of our bodies is a SEPARATE step from what happens to our spirits right after death.
Sadly, the spirits of unbelievers are cast away from God immediately and forever. There is debate whether a spirit's punishment in Hell lasts forever or if God uses the Lake of Fire to annihilate their resurrected bodies (the second resurrection at the end of the Millenial Reign) and spirits forever; there are good arguments for both perspectives. I personally find it difficult to believe God would consign these spirits to everlasting torture, because this goes against all that I know and understand about His nature. Read John 3:16 carefully: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not PERISH but have everlasting life." Those who do not believe in Him are NOT granted "everlasting life" in Hell; instead, at some point known only to God, they PERISH.
Peace.

Great question!
Please consider these tidbits:
Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers
God? He or She?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? Dying?
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
Does Imacculate Conception have anything to do with "VIRGIN BIRTH"?
Google Imacculate Conception and learn that is NOT.
What else do you falsely believe?
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Can Gods die?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing to be lost.

There is no afterlife. When you die, you're dead. Everybody ceases to exist eventually, no matter what superstition you believe.

The Bible says that all will be judged some will spend eternity in Heaven and some in Hell. It doesn't say annihilated.

the point is that some have a pleasant afterlife, while others not so pleasant.
