Abstract
Conditional immortality is the teaching that the soul is not naturally immortal but dies together with the body. However, God may choose to bestow immortality as a special gift, i.e. at the resurrection. Conditionalist David A. Dean explains the position as follows: “By conditional immortality, I mean the teaching that immortality is not a present characteristic of any human being but a gift which God will bestow only on those who meet his conditions” (1989: 3). “Conditional immortality stresses that conditions must be met before the sinner can receive everlasting personal existence” (Dean 1977: 114–115).
