RLJ :
 
wonderful post! I agree wholeheartedly with all that you say. As stated before, I have a brother who had a very real out-of-body experience. He was unsaved. He went to hell and heaven and as a result, was saved. The only reason I believe God spared him and brought him out of hell is because when he "died" my mom, who was saved and had been praying for him, was down on her knees in the floor (of the E.R.) screaming at the top of her lungs for God to please not let him die in hell and to take her life instead. They ended up having to sedate her - but what a witness to some unsaved people that was!  (Several months later, my mom died and went to be with the Lord yet my brother lived another 20 years). God heard her prayer. My brother later told me that people need to know that hell is REAL and so is heaven and he also said there is no  in-between with God. There is no purgatory.

P.S. My brother also said that truly JESUS is our only way to heaven! He is the DOOR!
