****who is in heaven? acording to the bible only the Father the Son the Holy Spirit and angels.***

Along with Enoch, Elija, Moses, and those “absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”-St Paul

John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

According to John even Enoch and Elisha are not in the realm of heaven were Christ came from. Paul speaks of several heavens he was taken to the 3rd heaven but could not talk of the wonderful things he saw.

saint Paul said if you read the whold scripture.

Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 00083 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 00084 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 00085 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 00086 5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 00087 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 00088 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

Pauls said he would rather be with the Lord than in the body and that that would be upon the Judgement and not before.
