    Do non-Christians ever walk the streets of Heaven in NDEs?

    This is interesting information, Runner. Thank you for being so open about what you have experienced. I would certainly ask God if ADCs are ok or if they are truly from him. You can ask him to stop them if they are bad for you. But I don't have an opinion on it myself as it is the first time of...

    I am not familiar with ADCs or what that means for a Christian. Could you give an example of a notable ADC you have had?

    Do non-Christians ever walk the streets of Heaven in NDEs?

    I find that these kinds of statements come from the person and not from Jesus in NDE accounts. I don't give weight to what people come to understand or what their own interpretation is of their experience. I'm interested in what they were actually told or shown. She found herself in a void, I...

    Do non-Christians ever walk the streets of Heaven in NDEs?

    I understand why you would hesitate to accept these types of accounts, but I think we can be optimistic about where they are trying to lead us. Most of the people who come forward with these accounts aren't writing books or selling anything. They share their stories at meetups and forums. I like...

    Do non-Christians ever walk the streets of Heaven in NDEs?

    I'm sure there will be many types of homes for everyone and perhaps some people will have multiple. Some Christians have described being shown their homes in heaven with Jesus. They've described seeing mansions that like like normal homes on earth, and they've described seeing mansions literally...

    Do non-Christians ever walk the streets of Heaven in NDEs?

    My thinking is that if God is the one responsible for these NDEs, then I would expect for there to be order and reason for these experiences being the way they are for each individual. I would also expect for them to be compatible with the bible. There are people who were born blind who have...

    Not_Now.Soon I'm totally with you. Everything you're saying here is right on point in my opinion. I don't place anything above the Word of God. Some verses seem clear at first and then make us think deeper.

    Do non-Christians ever walk the streets of Heaven in NDEs?

    I agree with you. I also agree with those who say we should be careful and allow the scripture to be the authority. I find that these experiences point to the God of the bible and to Jesus Christ when you step back and look at them as a whole. Jesus said the most important thing is to love God...

    Do non-Christians ever walk the streets of Heaven in NDEs?

    Yes, it is definitely an out-of-body experience he was having and certainly from God. It does seem harder to tell what is going on in the experiences we hear today. I'm still wondering about this and haven't been able to decide either way. An atheist name Howard Storm found himself in hell...

    Do non-Christians ever walk the streets of Heaven in NDEs?

    Amen I agree. I don't take NDEs or visions above the bible. But I do think those people experience something real. Was your grandmother's NDE a powerful experience in your opinion?

    Do non-Christians ever walk the streets of Heaven in NDEs?

    I used to think the same way, but many Christians who were falling away from Christ turned back to him after their NDEs or visions when they were shown that the way they were living was wrong. Many non-Christians have also been shown that they were not living a life of love, but rather were...

    Hi Willie! "My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" -John 14:2 I do believe this to be true. What is your take on it?

    Ok, I apologize. I linked to that website because I thought I had to give references for anything I quoted. Can I delete those links and references to keep the thread going? I didn't intend to solicit. I'm not affiliated with any of the links I posted. I just feel NDEs point toward...

    Ok I don't want to seem to be promoting something contrary to the bible. Which part of this is concerning to you?

    Oden Hetricks testimony is available online for free at the link I posted. But it does seem his children's testimonies of their experience of heaven are in part two which must be bought. But Oden's testimony is available free here: Just click "Next" or "Chapter 6-10" at the bottom of the page.

    And another angel came out of the temple that is in Heaven… (the sky) — Revelation 14:17 [also Revelation 15:5 & Revelation 16:17] So it seems there is a temple of some kind? Could it be interpreted as real?

    I've added some of this information to the original post. Visits to Heaven that Give Insight to the Garden and the City Terry Bennett - 3 Levels in Heaven Terry Bennett says he was taken to heaven multiple times starting in 1996. He talks about being taken to the outer parts of heaven in the...

    Do non-Christians ever walk the streets of Heaven in NDEs?

    Well the book of Revelation describes the city of heaven and the outer courts. We know atthere is a heaven. As far as NDEs the bible doesn't necessarily speak to them, but the bible indicates that going through Jesus is the way to God. That's really what NDEs indicate as well. I will update the...
