Well, the point of the resurrection stories of some christian sects is to provide a means for the life that comes after death. The dead lie, for now, in their graves, and will be resurrected again to live come judgement time, or whatevs. Those that are not resurrected..yeah, well and truly dead. The end.
I see that some of your sources have a witness bent...so, that viewpoint is to be expected.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I strongly suspect it will come largely from the Old Testament, since the Jews tend to not have much of a concept of an afterlife, at best like the Greek Underworld, only a bit more boring,

I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

It would be cool if xtians all accepted that an afterlife was a bogus notion. If they still honored their faith without the promise of future candy I'd have a lot more respect for the whole enterprise.
