I don't know if we'll have the same earthly personality but we'll certainly be recognizable by our friends and family who are there.

Do you have a biblical reference to that claim?

1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

MESSAGE VERSION:
12We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!

AMPLIFIED VERSION:
Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand [b]fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been [c]fully and clearly known and understood [[d]by God].

You are making me laugh. Is this desperation? You are using the verse out of context. Nice try. Trouble is, it has nothing to do with personalities. It has to do with our 'what we know.' Obviously, when we die, we will 'know' something we don't know now or will know more. But to tie this to keeping earhtly personalities (or anything worldly for that matter!) is pathetic.

Let's just admit that the statement I don't know if we'll have the same earthly personality but we'll certainly be recognizable by our friends and family who are there [my emphasis added] is not biblical. So much for sola scriptura feel-good myth that all doctrine is derived from the scriptures.
