Is it true that no one goes to heaven til after judgement day or possibly the rapture?

Answer 2

Upon death a persons spirit/soul goes to Heaven or Hell. The body as we know it, is dead (sometimes called asleep) in the grave. Upon the last day, when Christ returns, our spirit will be reunited with our body. In Heaven, with body and spirit now reunited together, we will have a kind of physical being again. This physical appearance will have no faults in Heaven. No such thing as: over weight, failing eye sight, no sickness or decease, no "too old", no handicap's, no physical or mental ab-moralities. We will be perfect and be capable of doing things we can't do while on earth. Death isn't the end. It's only the beginning. Death is kind of like part one of two parts.

Answer 3

I can only answer that question based on my own experience. In 1994, I had a near death experience after being given a paralytic agent with an anesthetic prior to going to the operating room for my second surgery. Let me just say that my experience contradicts medical science.

I was terrified of being put under for my second surgery and all I remember was the anesthesiologist coming into pre-op and saying, "It's show time!", at which time, he put a needle in my IV. I remember shouting, "Oh my GOD," three times before everything went dark, and yet I still felt conscious. I also had the sensation that I had stopped breathing. Then I had the sensation that my heart had stopped. Yet strangely, I felt no fear. Everything was dark, and yet it was a peaceful darkness, when in front of me, I saw a multi-colored being coming toward me with colors that can not exist anywhere in my experience. I felt that we were communicating without speaking. Finally, I said, "Lord, if this is death, then take me!," at which time I woke up from surgery. I found out that I died for 62 seconds before being brought back and yet I had no sense of time. Did I die? Maybe that's a question for a philosopher. But if I was experiencing my own death and an afterlife, then I can say that there is a heaven after this earth.
