Hi Marques,
So here could be an example of one being resurrected into a physical body to go through judgement now and to later receive a spiritual body.
These resurrections that Christ preformed on earth were "that they may believe that You sent Me."
John 11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
v. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by
I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me."
v. 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
It is not the resurrection by which a person is saved, but by the indwelling of His Spirit.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies
through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Those people that were resurrected BEFORE Christ died could not be reconciled by His shed blood, because He had not died yet.
Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
v. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
v. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Only if God chooses somebody and puts Christ's Spirit in them will they be in the first resurrection. And that was only offered after Pentecost.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
The repentance and judgment that one goes through is learning to live as Jesus Christ lived, being made into His image. That can only be accomplished with His Spirit indwelling, now for the few and in the Lake of fire for the many.
Here is an email where Ray touches on this.

I teach STRONGLY throughout ALL MY PAPERS, spiritual baptism, spiritual circumcision, spiritual communion, spiritual repentance, etc. Where have I ever ever suggested or even hinted that ANYONE will be "saved REGARDLESS?" That is nonsense. I have not even ever thought such an absurd thing. I have taught and STATED hundred and hundreds of times in my writing and emails that unless and until one truly repents and lives a godly life through God's Holy Spirit, they will NEVER BE SAVED. But the truth is, God shows many many places in His Word that He will bring all to repentance, and He will teach them godly living, etc. That is the WHOLE PURPOSE FOR THE JUDGMENT (Isa. 26:9).
God be with you,
