I think there is nothing in the New Testament that cannot be interpreted in the framework "There is no afterlife, but there will be a resurrection of the dead.". The only thing remotely coming to that is when the apostles were afraid that the being walking on water is a ghost ("phantasma", whatever that word really meant). Jesus on the cross said "Truly I tell you today you will be with me in heaven.", which can be interpreted either way depending on where the comma is.
The Witch of Endor in the Old Testament does indeed imply the author believed in afterlife. But the Old Testament is also full of verses explicitly denying afterlife, such as Ecclesiastes 9:5.
