It all depends on whether you have accepted Jesus as your savior.

This is interesting because I think we have been given too shallow an answer by many.
To assume that all revelation stopped when the New Testament was closed is to tie the hands of God.
when was that by the way... when the Catholic church decided which books were in or out... that was 392 AD by the way. If that is the case then the reformers changed that by rearranging books that they decided is in or out.
Paul said he was caught up to the third heaven but did not think we were ready to know about what he saw.
In the 1750's a spiritual scientist by the name of Emmanel Swedenborg had an experience that changed his life.
He said Christ appeared to him and allowed him to see into the spiritual world at will for 28 years. He wrote about it.
Heaven and Hell is the book that best describes his experiences.
He was humble, morally pure, spiritual educated and what he wrote seems to give us the view of the spiritual world which was in the early church..
He tells us that we have angels who are our guides and protectors. The early church taught that.. guardian angel is not a Catholic idea but was in the Jewish faith as well.
He tells us heaven has three levels... so does Paul and John taught that...
His description of after death experience has been used and mentioned by most everyone who writes about it in modern times.
He concepts are more spiritually intelligent then evangelical
paradigm's.
He tells us all children go to heaven and continue to grow and develop.
I would highly recommend reading his concepts for the mature who are ready for a challenge .

Very simple.
To where you came from!
Where does the drop of water go - may start as a cloud, a stream-let, a drop of rain,
a mighty river
and all ending up in the sea. Isn't it real.
Our body came from milk, food, water, vitamins, elements etc;
our mind came from the beliefs, concepts, and brain-washing of our family, teachers, priests etc;
our life-force came from our parents (ova+sperm) and will go back the same way to our or our brothers'/sisters' off-springs.
The body will go back to the elements as ash/fertilizer;
the mind to the society and the next generation.
The aids infection to our children;
and so on we go back to where we came from!

Unfortunately, there is no exact answer...NO HUMAN KNOWS!

The Bible teaches that you will go to Heaven, God's kingdom.

In order to go to Heaven, you must first go to confession and have all sins forgiven.

There is also Hell and Purgatory, a place between Heaven and Hell after you have died.

If you commit suicide, both the Bible and the Qu'ran teach that you lie in Hell.

Hope this helps. :D

Your body will go wherever they put you after death. Your spirit in the other hand will go to heaven, eventually. The only true death is to be separated from God.

Let us look into the mystical scriptures of Hinduism, for your question.

The soul dwells as the inmost body of light and superconscious, universal mind of a series of nested bodies, each more refined than the next: physical, pranic, astral, mental. In our conscious mind we think and feel ourselves to be a physical body with some intangible spirit within it. Yet, right now our real identity is the soul that is sensing through its multiple bodies physical, emotional and mental experience. Recognizing this as reality, we powerfully know that life doesn't end with the death of the biological body. The soul continues to occupy the astral body, a subtle, luminous duplicate of the physical body. This subtle body is made of higher-energy astral matter and dwells in a dimension called the astral plane. If the soul body itself is highly evolved, it will occupy the astral/mental bodies on a very refined plane of the astral known as the Devaloka, "the world of light-shining beings." At death, the soul slowly becomes totally aware in its astral/mental bodies and it predominantly lives through those bodies in the astral dimension.

The soul functions with complete continuity in its astral/mental bodies. It is with these sensitive vehicles that we experience dream or "astral" worlds during sleep every night. The astral world is equally as solid and beautiful, as varied and comprehensive as the earth dimension-if not much more so. Spiritual growth, psychic development, guidance in matters of governance and commerce, artistic cultivation, inventions and discoveries of medicine, science and technology all continue by astral people who are "in-between" earthly lives. Many of the Veda hymns entreat the assistance of devas: advanced astral or mental people. Yet, also in the grey, lower regions of this vast, invisible dimension exist astral people whose present pursuits are base, selfish, even sadistic. Where the person goes in the astral plane at sleep or death is dependent upon his earthly pursuits and the quality of his mind.

Because certain seed karmas can only be resolved in earth consciousness and because the soul's initial realizations of Absolute Reality are only achieved in a physical body, our soul joyously enters another biological body. At the right time, it is reborn into a flesh body that will best fulfill its karmic pattern. In this process, the current astral body-which is a duplicate of the last physical form-is sluffed off as a lifeless shell that in due course disintegrates, and a new astral body develops as the new physical body grows. This entering into another body is called reincarnation: "re-occupying the flesh."

During our thousands of earth lives, a remarkable variety of life patterns are experienced. We exist as male and female, often switching back and forth from life to life as the nature becomes more harmonized into a person exhibiting both feminine nurturing and masculine intrepidness. We come to earth as princesses and presidents, as paupers and pirates, as tribals and scientists, as murderers and healers, as atheists and, ultimately, God-Realized sages. We take bodies of every race and live the many religions, faiths and philosophies as the soul gains more knowledge and evolutionary experience.

Therefore, the Hindu knows that the belief in a single life on earth, followed by eternal joy or pain is utterly wrong and causes great anxiety, confusion and fear. Hindus know that all souls reincarnate, take one body and then another, evolving through experience over long periods of time. Like the caterpillar's metamorphosis into the butterfly, death doesn't end our existence but frees us to pursue an even greater development.

we are spiritual beings and our spirit will outlast our physical bodies. it means when we die, our spirit lives on. it is eternal.

your question is, where will you spend eternity after you leave your earthly body?. you have two options, eternal damnation in hell or eternal glory in heaven. the choice is up to you.

To the grave.

Ps. 146:3, 4: "Do not put your trust in nobles,
Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground;
In that day his thoughts do perish."

We cease to exist.
