And when they do not reject the Gospel they are saved right? o.k. when they are saved, they must wait untill the last day at the judgment to go to Heaven is what I am hearing but, a person that goes to Hell goes right away? Why do they not have to wait untill the end of time too?

yes, those who reject it go to hell. but just because someone doesn't reject the Gospel doesn't mean they are saved. they must accept it in order to be saved and believe in Christ. no one really knows what for sure happens to believers and nonbelievers before judgement day, but i think that they are separated, and then we'll all be judged one day and go to 'our place' eternally. some Biblical whiz probably has a better idea more based on the Bible, but either way, once you die, you'll go to heaven or hell. hopefully you'll/you believe the Gospel and live for God!

Read Revelations again dear. Throughout the bible it speaks of the dead as those who are as if they are asleep. The breath that came from God goes back to God where it began. It is God's breath, it can't just go anywhere. So, breath goes back to the creator. That leaves the body. The body lies in the ground to rot, becomes the dust it was in the beginning. The Soul is made up of the breath, which gives it life and the body which contains or holds it's thoughts and feelings. The soul doesn't exist without out a body and breath. So then. The soul knows nothing because the body ceases to be. Then in the end of time, when Christ returns, first the dead in Christ shall rise. The body will be a new body, rebuilt by God, with the breathof God it will live and the soul will be restored and so the people will have memory. That's what the bible says we will recognize each other. All of earth is silent. There is no life on the planet. Satan has no one to tempt. THen when Christ is ready, after spending a thousand years of explaining to his saints, answering their questions, he will return to the void earth. The dead who died in sin will then rise and be judged. Then death and hell are cast in to what looked to John to be a lake of fire. That is the consuming fire of God's righteousness as the people are being judged. The fire is an all consuming flame. It doesn't go on and on. On the imortal shall live forever. That means the ones who have CHrist and were given a new body-mortal shall put on immortal. Read it. It's all there.

If you have obeyed God's plan of salvation, you are a Christian, but if you do not continue to walk in the light and go back into the world and do not repent you will be lost. Everyone who dies before the judgement will be held in the realm of departed spirits which includes Paradise and Tartarus paradise for the good and Tartarus for the bad. You will be held there until Christ pronounces judgement on you. You do not go straight to heaven or hell when you die. But whereever you find yourself when you die your destiny cannot be changed. That is why you must prepare while you are on this side of eternity. Now is the time of Salvation. Read Luke 16:19-31 The word hell means Hades whic is the realm of departed spirits. Also when Christ died on the cross he tol the repented thief that he would be with him in paradise not heaven at that time.Luke 24: 43

I think God would be merciful enough to give people a second chance. Even in this life some reject it at first but accept it later. After this life I think there will be some learning and progression before the final judgment.

yes and no...
they go to a temporary place called hell or hades... at the last judgement death and hades is sent to the Lake of fire...
the redeemed used to have a temporary place sometimes called Abraham's bosom (from the prarable of Lazarus and the rich man) where the Old Testament saints went, but after Jesus died and paid for sins everyone could go to be with Him
in a sense they still wait as the New Jerusalem is no made yet
(people who believe in 'soul sleep' or conditionalism.. such as 7th day adv or JW's who broke off of a 7th day adventist splinter group and most dont know it...will have a different view but I think the above best harmonizes with the scriptures)

You ask somewhat some questions. human beings do no longer flow to hell broadly speaking because of the fact they have not heard the gospel, they flow to hell because of the fact they're broadly speaking sinners. Jesus got here because of the fact each and every person became responsible of sin. The Gospel did no longer come to deliver human beings to hell, it got here to shop them from it, and for this reason this is sweet information. the style you framed the question assumed that folk might flow to heaven if it weren't for that pesky gospel element to which they by no ability heard. the 1st financial disaster of Romans (and chapters 2-3) makes it sparkling that each and every person is without excuse and stands responsible. As for those in distant areas, we deliver to them missionaries. I beleive if somebody became responding to the mild of creation and the mild of expertise of right and incorrect, God might get the mild of Christ to them via all ability. after all, it rather is God who attracts human beings to Himself, and no one is going to miss something from God if He needs it made obtainable. remember, God is watching each and every person. The Bible speaks of a time whilst toddlers don't recognize excellent from incorrect (Isaiah 7:sixteen). i've got self assurance the grace of God is sufficient to strengthen to them ought to they die upfront. sure, they have a sin nature, inspite of the undeniable fact that it would not look that they are inevitably without lead to charge at childhood whilst they don't recognize what's what. Jesus additionally mentioned, "I permit you recognize the certainty, except you regulate and grow to be like sons and daughters, you will by no ability enter the dominion of heaven" (Matthew 18:3). i'm hoping this contributes something as you seek for solutions.

The gospel is the result of God's gift of grace. By accepting the gospel and believing in Jesus to save us from sin and our inability to save ourselves, we are with Him when we die.
Those who reject the gospel and choose not to believe in sin, Jesus as Savior, God, heaven, hell, Satan, etc. will be in hell when they die. On Judgment day, all will be judged.
Jesus will save those who accepted the gospel from judgment, others will be judged by their works, and fall short.

No the Bible says that when those who are saved die- they are in the presence of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

That is a belief, not a fact. That is one of the primary reasons I cannot be a Christian (I grew up Catholic). This faith system boxes "God" within very narrow definitions, especially ones that do not fit every circumstance. The Bible is a historical, arbitrary collection of works. It is the work of men who wanted something to promte the early church. It was inspired by capricious intent, not by God. The first Council of Nicea worked to create works for this purpose.
