I heard several stories of near death experinces. Difficult to believe their stories. Most in cases, as what they saying, that they saw 'tunnel'. They telling the same thing about 'tunnel'.
I am sure that most of them are not fact.
But, my old deaf friend told, when she was in her mother's womb, ready to delivery her to birth at the hospital in the labor room. Her mother died during labor. Mother said, her soul went to the heaven, and she heard about 12 or more men sat round around Jesus Christ sits on the throne. They were discuss about the baby in mother's womb, what's do with the alive baby? Mother heard Christ's voice, and He said, "Your daughter will be sick often when she growing up, now back to earth." Mother returned to her body, and she alive again, then her daughter born safety. Two years later, daughter became very sick almost death, but she did get relieved again, but she become deaf. In the rest of her lifetime, she sick very often. I did notice her sick often many times. I told her, that over 12 men sit round around Jesus Christ must be 24 elders round around Christ of Revelation chapter 4!
I know there are much debate if these experinces or testimony of their near death experince are false or true.
I only know Hebrews 9:27 well, It tells us, it is ONCE for all people to die after the judgement. There is no turn around or back from death. It is already reserved.
I agree with Hebrews 9:27.
But, I think, God have his good reasons, purpose, and His will for person, that God is an omniscience, He knows everything in the future what will happen to person. Also, God already know who will be saved as 'elect'.
When I was 4 years old. I climbed up on the tree about 40 feet high. When I was on the tree, my mother ran down and yelled to me in sign language, said, "Get down now, please!" I did not climbing down, I just jump off from the tree. I fell down, I can well remember, when I land on the ground, I feel my head hit the ground so softly or gentile. I shut my eyes when I landed on the ground. My mother brought me to the hosptial. 4 Hours later, I woke up, I feel NO pain, no stitches, no broken bones! I get off the bed and walk home on the very same day! I am no kidding, I am serious! It was miracle!
About 18 years ago, mother told me, she saw an angel appeared hold me down on the ground safety. What a miracle!
I believe God chosen me as elect that He already know the future that I will become Christian. I accepted Christ on August 17, 1988.
God have his good reasons, purpose, his will, for any person in His sovereignty of his plan.
We better be careful not to ask God, "Why?" Accept God's will. Have faith in Him.
Probably SOME of near death experince might be true story, in the result of them, they actual became Christian, and to share people about hell and heaven. God have his reason for any individual as God's elect.
My mother told me many times, She said, "You are so special!" Mother is right. Everybody are so special, God have plan for everyone. But, they make their own decision and choice to believe or not. God cannot force them to became saved. Actual, God does not want all people go to hell, He desire all come to repentance - 2 Peter 3:9.
I don't know if any near-death experince stories are true or not. But, more important that we must depend on our faith only without sight. Have believe what God's Word saying so.
And of course, more important that everyone must make decision of their lifetime before too late. No way for a person escape from hell, once soul already enter it, is struck there forever and ever according Heb. 9:27.
Hey, when we preaching or teaching at the church, we better NOT discuss or mentioned about near-death experince testimonies. More important that we must telling them about heaven and hell, and also salvation too. But, no way that we can avoid it, IF a perso who attend baptist church want to share of person's own experince. But, It is very, very rare to hear a baptist in the church to share about experince of near-death experince.
So, don't worry it. Focus on God's Word only, telling them what the Bible says so.
In Christ
Rev. 22:20 -Amen!
