Baptists, at least Southern Baptists, do not believe in soul sleep. When Jesus spoke to the thief on the cross He told him that he would be with Him TODAY, not some distant time in the future. Baptists understand the use of the word "sleep" in the New Testament as a euphemism for death. When Paul was contemplating what became of one at death, he wrote that to be absent from the body (dead) was to be with Christ. There is no intermediate step between death and being with Christ.

When did the words 'immortal' and 'soul' first appear together in the Bible?

I do not believe you will find the actual phrase 'immortal soul' in the Bible. In fact, some sects say the soul is not immortal and there is no life between physical death and 'the resurrection of the body' on judgment day.Another answer:The phrase "immortal soul" does not appear in the Bible. However, between the promise of eternal life for the faithful believer (John 3:16) and the question asked by Jesus in Matthew 16:26 (For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?), the Bible clearly teaches that the soul of man IS immortal, and that its ultimate disposition is solely in the hands of God.Ecclesiastes 12:7 - Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.Matthew 10:28 - And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.[Quotes from NKJV]
