Yes...good.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

People need to be very skeptical about these "back from the dead" experiences. They are not biblical, and what if someone came back and said, "Jesus told me in Heaven that everyone is supposed to do what Obama says. He is my chosen vessel to bring forth righteousness!"

Exactly.

Outside of Jesus, only a handful of people in the Bible were raised from the dead, most of the by Jesus. Not a one of them are recorded as saying anything about the experience, and passed on to death again. Enoch and Elijah are even rarer outliers, who also did not come back to tell us about the experience.

The one we follow is Jesus, the "πρωτότοκος εκ νεκρών", who rose, never to die again.

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

(Romans 6:5 ESV)

Strong delusion comes to mind:)
