The concept of where we go when we die holds great concern in Christian denominations. Some believe in reincarnation, purgatory and other dogmas, while others believe in immediate judgment after death.

I believe the holy scriptures:

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14)

With the exception of anointed Christians who go to heaven instantly, everyone goes to the grave to await a resurrection.

Your statement seem contradictory. Which one is it? "Anointed Christians??? go to heaven when they die" or "everyone goes to the grave to await resurrection?"

I understand what you are saying, but please elaborate for those who might be confused, with Scripture references, if possible.

“‘Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city; and without [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭YLT98‬‬
