Such experiences were known throughout Scripture and mentioned by Paul.

As long as they are Biblical, I take them as the wonderful encouragement they invariably are.

They have often drawn me closer to God; encouraged my faith; increased my courage and my hope; firmed up my confidence in The Lord.

I don’t consider that bad fruit, at all.

The Bible also indicates that such experiences will be increased in the END TIMES . . . sons and daughters shall prophecy . . . dream dreams etc.

I figure God knows what He’s doing . . . discernment is required in some cases. In others, it’s obvious.

I am very skeptical of near-death experiences of any kind, by anyone. Here, I found this and this explains my position very well:

Are books such as 90 minutes in Heaven and 23 minutes in Hell biblically based?
