I’m southern baptist 1950s and 60s upbringing and early 70s
It was fairly clear then
Death
Await judgement in front of God like everyone else before us in slumber
Awaken judgement
If so fortunate as to have believed then everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven
Where did it all get off track?
All these different interpretations
Read John 3, the whole chapter. But pay close attention tot he analogy JESUS used with Nicodemus regarding the Brass Snake Moses raised upon a pole. The healing from the poison was immediate, without cancellation, and so simple all one had to do was LOOK at the snake believing God made this provision for the snake bites! When men add stuff to that simple formula JESUS taught to Nicodemus, THAT is where the Gospel gets gnarled up.
