Do we get resurrected before that time without a body? And if so why so?
Do you consider yourself to be alive in Christ, or are you just dead in Christ?
But the resurrection I follow is typified by Christ. If I don't get a body now when I die that means I go to Sheol because that is the place Christ went without a body.
alive. If I die I an still alive because I have eternal life.
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. John 17:3
You cleverly replied with out answering the question, and that is what do YOU believe? Are you alive in Christ or are you dead in Christ? Simply answer is all that I ask.
My hope is in the resurrection.
Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, Romans 6:3-5
The resurrection of the is what we all look forward to.

So, you are dead in Christ as I understand. Yes?

In Christ I am crucified to this world.
Only One has been resurrected from the dead.
When He comes, all those who are His will be resurrected or Raptured.

Can you sincerely humble yourself to consider what Jesus actually said about the resurrection?
Mat 22:25-33
Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
John 11:25-26
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life:he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
CHRIST IS OUR RESURRECTION.
We are not Resurrected from the dead yet.
When we are Resurrected from the dead, we will have a body that will never die, that will shine like the sun.
Jesus is the only One who has been resurrected from the dead.
When He appears a second time, then we shall all be Resurrected, or Raptured.
Are you claiming that you have been Resurrected?

I am claiming that CHRIST IS THE RESURRECTION, and through my FAITH in CHRIST I am made alive. As it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul, the last man Adam was made a quickening Spirit.
Eph 2:1-6
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

1Cor 15:12-17
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ:whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
