Exactly my question. Also, Paul could not utter what he saw when whether in or out of the body and had a vision of heaven. IDK, he is spreading the gospel and appears to be genuine. I will stick to the word, but we are fortunate to have it. Many are less fortunate, and in time past prior to the printing press the canon was not yet put together so maybe these are valid. IDK, with so much corruption IDK who to believe anymore.

I listen to these experiences very cautiously. Some may be genuine. They cannot contradict the gospel or we know they are false. But about “appointed once to die” maybe our understanding of heart no longer beating and not breathing is not super exact for time of death; maybe there is something we don’t understand about death. When is the finality? 🤔

It is my understanding that some statements, such as the one you just mentioned, are are very true, but in an over arching way. In the broad sense it is precisely true. But think of Lazarus……. there are other contrary examples. We KNOW Lazarus was a true account, yet he died twice. I know we all know other Bible characters & groups of Bible characters that died twice , but in an over arching way , man dies once. I don’t claim to understand all of this, certainly not. But this concept helped me. All such near death experiences MUST be carefully cited suffered, prayed over for discernment. The speaker here, wisely said not to take any doctrine from these. They did all say, as did all the others I’ve heard, that there is some kind of line that they MUST NOT cross or cannot return to earth. Possibly that is the key. If you are Saved, ( if not get so now!) ask the Holy Spirit that is within you for insight. God bless you! Maranatha!

@@oksills I did not think of those who were resurrected and died twice. We also have Luke 16 where obviously the physically dead engaged in conversation. Abraham said even if someone was raised from the dead, the rich man's brothers still would not believe. There were doubters back then with Jesus (Matthew 28), and still doubters today. It is a phenomena that I do not understand because they all appear to be genuine and documented. Too many to be false accounts. I guess like everything else, we must take it with a grain of salt. Ultimately, they are spreading the good news of the gospel, and that is a good thing.

you will find out too.
