Well your right, anyone could make up a story like that I suppose. Yet, why would a known hardline Atheist who died in a hospital, suddenly come back to life and become a Christian minister of the Gospel? And why would he speak of a detailed account of demon encounters, and being saved from them by Jesus Christ?
Hmmm...financial gain and attention perhaps? Ask Mike Warnke...he knows.

Well you could be right. I don't know these people personally. And they might all be in it for the money. Yet I myself have had encounters with demons. So I don't have to depend on their accounts. I have had my own encounters that confirm the reality of Hell.
The "have you ever done this and that" questions don't make sense because the Bible promises that past deeds washed away once you become Christian. And of course if you don't believe in the Bible, then you don't beleive in hell either.

I guess this must be the reason so many violent criminals in maximum security convert, is it? Quite the system you have there.
So everyone converts out of fear? (Some kind of death insurance?) No thanks, I'm not interested in any club that admits serial killers, rapists etc. Fear is a pretty sad reason for joining anything. Your club is not selective enough for me, and if these criminals are "saved" will I get to hob nob with them in heaven? (That is if it wasn't all just a big myth.) Good reason for one not to aspire to reach heaven...
No, we were not talking about fear. Where did you get that idea? We were talking about getting your sins forgiven.
PS I think there will be more serial killers in hell than heaven, so you might want to reconsider if that is your only reason to stay of of heaven.
Yes, the reason violent offenders convert is mainly about fear of hell. Let me ask you where you think these people will end up if they are not as you call it "saved"?
If heaven were real then why does every different religion have a different version of it? As far as I'm concerned the whole after life thing, heaven or hell is nothing more than a simple minded carrot and stick approach to rope people into the biggest scam ever perpetrated on humanity.
It has so many holes in it I'm amazed that anyone at all can possibly believe any of it, no matter which of the thousands of versions they believe....
I can only shake my head at the incredible gullibility of mankind.
