When do Christians go to Heaven?

In a thought provoking book, Bishop N.T. Wright states that the church is deceived in it's belief that when Christians die they immediately go to heaven. His belief, supported by his interpretation of scripture is that we enter a state of conscious rest until Christ's return.

Before you dismiss him as another liberal theologian, Bishop Wright has been praised for his staunch defense of the literal resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I want to hear what you have to say, but I ask that you please read the article "Bishop: Christians don't go to heaven" first. It is short and thought provoking.

I can't say that I am completely for or against what he says. I am Bible College trained, a former church staff member. I led several ministries and taught classes. I am what I would consider to be fairly Bible literate.

So, let's hear what your thoughts are.
