Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Co 15:6) “After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”  Notice the words “fallen asleep”. It is the term speaking of the death of their bodies. A saved person upon their death experiences the movement of their soul and spirit to the presence of the Lord in heaven. That body is said to “sleep” for it will be resurrected unto a glorified physical, eternal, body.
