You have to pick:

When you die your spirit goes on to eternal joy if you are good and eternal agony if you are bad
 
or
 
When you die your spirit is reincarnated as another organism (human, animal, plant, anything), and the type of organism is influenced by how good a person you are

"Good" and "bad" are such subjective things. By whose standards, my own?

Nope, its objective. Your opinion is irrelevant, although you can try to figure out what the objective definitions of good and bad are.

Ah, so I merely have to solve a philosophical riddle that humanity has been wrestling with since the concepts of "good" and "bad" were invented, then. :) I'd be a bit wary of the definitions of "joy" and "agony" here too.

A good atheist, a good satanist, and a good Hindu are three every different people. What constitutes a "good person?" Do we only have one incarnation to an animal after we die as a human, then we die forever? Or is this a cyclical kind of thing? Do the animals and plants (f*cking plants, really?!) have to be "good" to reincarnate? What determines if a fern or plankton has been good or bad?
