I listened to this testimony...incredibly powerful and moving. I thought it would be good to pass it on. (the MP3 link will do...turn on your speakers):

I'm thinking about making copies to pass on to unsaved friends and loved ones...

I can appreciate your enthusiasm and I am not trying to burst your bubble, really I am not but we must use discernment. I am not saying, this young man is lying but it could have been a very intense dream, the brain is a complicated machine that we only use 10% of. We have no idea what it can do with full usage.
Anytime we hear a stories like these, ask yourself, is it biblcal? can scripture support this?, Why was John not allowed to describe what he saw but these people can? and what can this man say, that is different from anything I have already read about heaven in the bible? Is scipture (bible calls, "a two edged sword") sufficient?
Scripture is more than sufficient, remember the water of life Jesus promised the woman at the well, that she will never thirst again.

Hi Catherine!
I can appreciate your concern; and it is true one has to be discerning. I know the man's testimony will likely not "fit" into everyone's idea of what is, or is not, Biblical.
However...the bottem line is the guy entered into this experience as an unsaved, non-believer. He came out of it saved and believing.
Nobody has to believe anything regarding this or anyone else's testimony, but A LOT of people have become believers as a result of what happened to this man.
I'd say just listen to the testimony first (did you?), then decide for yourself whether it is Biblical, or not.
There's an old saying: "you can't argue with results". It's a take it, or leave it, kind of thing, I guess.
Sounds about right, from the stories that I've heard and testimonies, from people that were either dying or had died,(clinically dead) one to include my mother;
and something I saw with my own two eyes: similar to the one about heaven, but not that detailed for me, just a beautiful experience, I was sent back : I didn't want to come back either,but same descriptive chain of events took place
Oh and I was a sinner, in need of a savior, only i knew Him but had turned to the world and other gods (long story)
awesome testimony
Thanks Bud for sharing this thread with us
God Bless You

Reason: mispelled a word, added my experience
Thank you for sharing. I sent it to others, and plan on making copies.
Yhwyshalomjr, you were sent to the outer darkness?
I don't want anyone going there, just listening to this guy describe it chilled me to the core.
