Yes. My church teaches this. But the Old Testament Saints were not taking a dirt nap. Their souls live on New Testament saints are are not resurrected either, by the way. They have not received glorified bodies yet. That will happen at the Lord's return.

Hold that thought...

"New Testament saints are are not resurrected either, by the way. They have not received glorified bodies yet. That will happen at the Lord's return."

Ok, that's fair. I got sloppy with the language. My apologies.

But I'm confused by your first statement. When you say "not taking a dirt nap"/"their souls live on", what does that entail? I'm not trying to set you up for a gotcha later, I'm just trying to understand what you believe dead people were up to (or not) prior to the resurrection of Christ. Along with this, I would ask you what you believe the difference is between dying in the OT days and dying in the NT days. The impression I am getting so far is that you really don't see a difference. Is that right?
