The Bible clearly states that when people die, they are in the grave and are not immediately judged to go to Heaven or Hell. Rather, they will be judged at one of the four future judgments after they are raised from the dead. Those who have rejected God will be totally consumed in the Lake of Fire. We as Christians will be raptured, then judged and rewarded for how we have served God here on earth.
