No doubt many of you have heard of various jokes regarding those
encountering St Peter at the gates of heaven, deciding upon whom are given

Considering the matter of resurrection upon death, one poster describes a
process that may be described as "trickle" resurrection.

"Trickle" resurrection could probably be best summed up as a "case by case"
ongoing stream of resurrection and judgement upon death, spread out over
time, much like the ongoing new additions to the faithful as born again
believers amongst the living.

As an analogy, this gives the impression of entry into heaven as something
akin to passing through customs and processing at an international airport,
in a queue like fashion, with ongoing flights continually bringing in more
