There is still discernment on the part of the reader. I don’t think church leaders should take that away, nor should they claim to have an exclusive on it. We are ALL given the Holy Spirit. ALL.

And sometimes we are led to seek the advice of Pastors, Elders, etc....but not always.

That is true but the SBC was only warning Christians not to allow “the numerous books and movies purporting to explain or describe the afterlife experience to become their source and basis for an understanding of the afterlife”.

And I fully agree.

The book store decided to take the books from their store and not buy any more because they agreed.

Since we have the Holy spirit why let it be bogged down from things that if God wanted us to know he would have told us?

I believe we have all had an experience of one kind or another but if every one teaches their own experiences what does that do with what Jesus told us to do which is to preach his gospel (not ours) as a witness?

Like I stated there are some things I believe in that is not taught in the Bible, not plainly any way so I would not even think of teaching it free, much less to get rich from.

I don`t want to find out if hell is real by going there.
