The Resurrection of the Dead

XIV THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, of the just and of the unjust alike. The redeemed will rise to eternal bliss and the unrighteous to eternal condemnation. We believe that there are two places where people will dwell at the end of this life. The redeemed live in Heaven, and lost will dwell in Hell with the Devil and his angels. Such existence, both in Heaven and in Hell, is eternal.
