"it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment," Hebrews 9:27.
Judgment will be final and there is only one of two destinations.
It will either be heaven or the lake of fire for eternal torment.
"And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Revelations 20:12-15.
There is no purgatory and there is no way of coming out of hell.
"And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night," Revelations 14:11.

What happens after death?
The parable of Lazarus and the rich man gives us an indication of what happens after death. (Luke 16:19-31) Immediate separation takes place between the children of God and those who would not serve Him.
Final judgment will take place in the end: "And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Revelations 20:12-15
Spiritual bodies are resurrected for judgment, not physical bodies. "They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies." 1 Corinthians 15:44
