Protestants what do you believe happens to you at the moment of your death?

Answer 1

I will be in the presense of God.

Answer 2

Paul wrote, "To be absent from the body is be present with the Lord"..... This dispels the "sleep" theories that we will be waiting for the resurrection.

At death, Born Again Christians, body will be buried but their soul goes to heaven and will be with the Lord.

At the rapture, our bodies will be reunited with our souls and we will have an eternal body.

Answer 3

check out site Doug Batchelor, he explains it in fewer words but clear.
This is a quote from another site [Samuele Bacchiocchi ] that goes deep and deeper.

More revealing is the use of the Hebrew noun maveth which is used about 150
times and is generally translated "death." From the use of maveth in the Old Testament,
we learn three important things about the nature of death.

First, there is no remembrance of the Lord in death: "For in death [maveth] there is
no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who can give thee praise" (Ps 6:5). The reason for no
remembrance in death is simply because the thinking process stops when the body with
its brain dies. "His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that day his thoughts
perish" (Ps 146:4). Since at death the "thoughts perish," it is evident there is no
conscious soul that survives the death of the body.

Second, no praise of God is possible in death or in the grave. "What profit is
there in my death [maveth], if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise thee? Will it tell of
thy faithfulness?" (Ps 30:9). By comparing death with dust, the Psalmist clearly shows
that there is no consciousness in death because dust cannot think. What a contrast with
the "noisy" popular vision of the afterlife where the saints praise God in Heaven and the
wicked cry in agony in Hell!

Third, death is described as a "sleep." "Consider and answer me, O Lord my
God; lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death" (Ps 13:3). This characterization of
death as "sleep" occurs frequently in the Old and New Testaments because it fittingly
represents the state of unconsciousness in death. Shortly we examine the significance of
the "sleep" metaphor for understanding the nature of death.

In several places, maveth [death] is used with reference to the second death. "As I
live, says the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the
wicked turn from his way and live" (Ez 33:11; cf. 18:23, 32). Here "the death of the
wicked" is evidently not the natural death that every person experiences, but the death
inflicted by God at the End on impenitent sinners. None of the literal descriptions or
figurative references to death in the Old Testament suggests the conscious survival of the
soul or spirit apart from the body. Death is the cessation of life for the total person.

The explanations go on and on with the Bible explaining it's self.
