This isn't exactly said. But see Luke 16:19- and John 13:36-. The first is the story of the rich man and Lazarus. Lazarus went to Paradise. Later in Cor. it says Jesus took captivity captive, then in John it tells of Him going to heaven ( to sit at the right hand of God). Matthew speaks of the graves being opened, and the dead appeared to many..... So I see putting all of this together would make a case for what you asked.

Here it is. Nowhere in the New Testament does it tell us how to into Heaven. It tells us about Heaven. What you are looking for is entrance into the Kingdom of God. St. John 3:5. Jesus taught it to everyone, everywhere that He went. Acts 2 tells us what happened when the first assembly was gathered together in the Upper Room of Marks mothers house. They were together in prayer and supplication when the Holy Ghost came upon them, and gave them utterance by allowing them to speak in an unknown language. Then Peter gave the greatest Message ever told on this side of Heaven: Repent everyone of you and be baptized (born again of the water) in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost. This promise is to everyone forever. This is how we can start a new life in Jesus Christ. We are buried with Him in baptism, and our Spirits are brought back to life with the Holy Ghost. And when we have the Holy Ghost (with the evidence of speaking in an unknown language) we can lead an overcoming life. In Revelations, it says that only the overcomers will enter in. Any other teaching isn't Biblical. Do it today, the only thing that you have to lose is your penalty for sin, your sinful behaviors, and any guilt that you have.

there is not one Chapter or verse in the Bible that says that Christians go to heaven when we die. (here we go with that sole religion thing again!!! )
all those who follow the Word of God will go to heaven, not just Christians (no matter what branch of the Christian church you belong to).
and one does not enter the Kingdom the moment they pass on. you shall be in a deep sleep so to speak, until the coming of the Messiah.

Most Christians don't go to heaven when they die. After armageddon, there is going to be a resurrection of the dead onto a paradise earth, which was God's original plan before the Devil persuaded Adam and Eve to turn away from God. Some do go to heaven to rule as kings and priests with Jesus, but only 144,000.
John 5:28-29
Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
2 Timothy 2:18
18 These very [men] have deviated from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred; and they are subverting the faith of some
Psalms 37:29
The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it.
Revelations 21:3-4
With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
Revelation 7:3-4,9
saying: “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until after we have sealed the slaves of our God in their foreheads.” And I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:...After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands.
Revelation 14:3-5
And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth. These are the ones that did not defile themselves with women; in fact, they are virgins. These are the ones that keep following the Lamb no matter where he goes. These were bought from among mankind as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb, and no falsehood was found in their mouths; they are without blemish.
Revelations 20:4-6
And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.

If you are asking if we go straight to Heaven at the moment of our death, that's not unequivocally stated. You'd find better answers by using a search engine to scour the internet. There are many theories based on scripture about what happens to us when we die.

2 Cr 5;8, We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Paul indicates that when we live this present life we go to be with Jesus and we know that Jesus is in Heaven because of:
Hbr 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
In the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses.....
I Cr 13;8a

Well, there are several scriptures that refer to the members of the "little flock" , not all Christians, that are resurrected:
(1 Thessalonians 4:14-16) “14 For if our faith is that Jesus died and rose again, so, too, those who have fallen asleep [in death] through Jesus God will bring with him. 15 For this is what we tell YOU by Jehovah’s word, that we the living who survive to the presence of the Lord shall in no way precede those who have fallen asleep [in death]; 16 because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first.”
