From my moderately extensive reading,

Many are from God.

Some are not.

I don't know of any reliable study with percentages I'd respect.

Jesus said if someone confessed that He came in the flesh, rose from the dead etc. then they were of God. Such criteria fit many Godly focused NDE's.

The problem occurs when the Bible is clear that there is no such thing as in "immortal soul". No one is in Heaven except God and His angels, and no one is burning in hell either, because the dead are dead. Any "spirit" or "spiritual experience" that says contrary is not from the only Holy God, Most High, but from the god of this world who seeks to decieve, even the most elect, even if such were possible.
