Kurt Simmons to Norman Voss "Notice that Norman’s definition of resurrection IS NOT the receipt of a spiritual body at death or entrance into heaven above, but justification from sin during life. This is the fundamental error of the corporate body view. The hope of resurrection is the hope of eternal life in heaven above, not justification from sin on earth. I have been justified from sin, washed in the blood of the Lamb. But that is not resurrection. Lazarus was raised when he came out of the grave (Hades); he was justified when he repented and was baptized. The two are not the same. Preterists need to quit confusing these two very different and separate aspects of redemption."
