Beleivers please, serious answers only.. thank you...
Gods love for us is unconditional as we are in the flesh, but when we die and become spirits is his love still unconditional?
If not why?

Who says her love isn't still unconditional, after death ? I'd assume it was/is.

We are Tri-partite beings. We have a spirit, and soul, (our will and emotions), and our spirit and soul live in a body. On this earth.
That body decays over the years and we eventually die. However, our spirit lives on forever, and where we spend eternity, will be worked out by the way, we have used our Soul - emotions and free will, here on earth.
We don't just 'turn' into a spirit, when we die. We get a new resurrected body. Your foundational assumption here is wrong.
With the free will God has given you you can choose to serve God through the gift of Life He gave us in sending His Son to die for our sins. Or choose to ignore it and disbelieve it. Jesus loved us unconditionally by going to the cross.

We are dead spirits until we are born again of the water and of the Spirit. We are not His until we do this. We have to repent, get baptized by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ to get rid of our sin nature, then we will be clean from the inside out and He can fill us with His Spirit which is the earnest of our inheritance. We know we have it because our Spirit will speak in a language that our minds can't understand. This is the Gospel, Good News, The Way of our Salvation. After we do this, then we can lead an overcoming life and let Jesus Christ work in and through us.

He love us all until we make the choice to not serve him. I mean the final choice in your heart. He knows and you do to if you have made that choice. Until then he will reach out to you and try to get you to serve him. God sends no one to hell. We choose for our selves. Seek him honestly and you will find him. If you are honest and obey when he reaches out to you you will began reading the bible and he will teach you. He will lead you to a church with a true man of god to help you. I say true man of god because a true man of god is one chosen by god not man. This will lead you to a church that teaches the truth not just the parts of the bible that suits them. There only one truth not many like people like to think. How can it be other wise? If god is real he has a plan and he wants certain things from us. The bible say no one is above another so the same thing applies to us all. The bible says the gate is narrow and few pass through so how can there be many ways to heaven? There is only one and you can find it if you honestly and sincerely seek it.

I believe His love is Unconditional regardless of what 'state' we are in.
That said, to love someone unconditionally doesn't mean we will let them get away with anything.
Someone who loves unconditionally, loves us REGARDLESS of what we have done but still has the right to judge our actions as right or wrong.
EDIT: YES, Jedi Master: I love my kids unconditionally but if they break the law, I would still ALLOW (ie make the "decision" to notify police etc) the full force of the judicial system to JUDGE them.

God's love is conditional. That is his saving love is conditional. His saving love only extends to those whom He has called into his family and given his Holy Spirit to.
The Holy Spirit is described as our "earnest" of salvation. "Earnest money" is money a buyer puts down on a home in order to show that he or she plans on completing the purchase.
As to your question, once a believer dies they go to be with Jesus and God's love endures forever.
2 Corinthians 5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst 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, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

When we are resurrected, these bodies will become incorruptible, and yes He will still love us unconditionally.

Yes, for those who accept the payment for sin that his son paid, if not, then you failed your self.
