So You Think You've Been To Heaven? (Part I)

Have you considered the ever-increasing claims of personal visits to Heaven that abound in the marketplace?  From near-death experiences, to children seeing visions from operating rooms, to the most recent excitement surrounding a book called "Heaven Awaits the Bride."  This is actually a reprint of two earlier works by author, Anna Rountree.  And it would appear that in spite of the repeated admonitions from Scripture to "Test the Spirit, because not every spirit is from God," avid devotees either ignore the warnings or are unlearned in what the Scriptures actually say.  In either case, this is a "Prescription for Deception."

  

Excerpts from Heaven Awaits the Bride, et al:

"While staying at a cabin in the mountains, Anna Rountree was caught up in a tremendous vision of heaven. While there, she was met and taught by the angels around her ..."  "I've come to take Ann to a training session," Clara (Angel) continued. "What kind of training?" I asked. "Of the healing angels," she smiled. ... "Azar the Angel said, "I'm the one who answers when you call for help."                                                

TESTING THE SPRITS: "When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, HE will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come" ~ John 16:13
"You need not that anyone teach you: but that same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in Him." ~ 1st John 2:27  "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." ~ 2nd Cor. 11:14    "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." ~ Galatians 1:18     "Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;  you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I." ~ Isaiah 58:9

These are just a few testing Scriptures... Test yourself to see if you can find more!
