Hello CV5!
Yes, they were a group that was Resurrected after Jesus resurrection. However, my personal belief is that they did not resurrect immortal and glorified, but were resurrected in the same manner as Lazarus, i.e. brought back from the dead only to die again. The resurrection that I was referring to in the previous post is regarding to those who rise in their immortal and glorified bodies of which the church is next. The reason I say that they were resurrected in their mortal bodies and then died again, is because of the following scripture:
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
Christ is being used as an example of the first fruits of the those who are resurrected and His resurrection was immortal and glorified. Therefore I believe that the resurrection in question will be those who will also be resurrected immortal and glorified. Also, since the Lord hasn't appeared yet, the scripture couldn't have been referring to those OT saints who came out of their graves and therefore must be referring to the church. I believe that just as Lazarus was raised in his mortal body and died again, so also those OT saints who came out of their graves did so in their same immortal bodies and also died again.
