Do you know someone personally who had an after death experience and came back to tell about it?

Question

I'v seen documentary video's on TBN of people who were interviewed on camera of their experience's.Some of'em even had death certificate documentation of their time and length of death.In one case,an atheist doctor became a christian after resuscitating aman that came back screaming "don't let me go back to hell".Some of the video's were also of people testimony's of going to heaven and seeing some of the incredible sight's that await christian's that obey God.

Answer 1

Ronnie Reagan one of the pastors on TBN show documentary. I know him and his family well.. seen hell and came back. He is a church of God minster........... also when I was around 24 i had a younger cousin nicknamed bubba.... a really sweet kid.
he got a inoperable brain tumor, they done laser surgery on him and got most of it. he got better for several years and then it came back. anyhow him and his little sister who was three shared a room
as we sat at breakfast one morning they informed u s that Jesus came out of the wall with angels and talked with bubba.
He told bubba he was going to take him the heaven with h im.
Crystal asked Jesus could she go to? Jesus replied, yes if you be good when you grow up you can go to heaven then,
They were six and three years old........ crystal still can tell you about it and she is in her twenties now.
Any way bubba relapsed and died peacefully in his sleep several weeks later...................
When i was a very small child I saw a real angel at church and I tried to to tell my mom and she pinched me and didn't believe me!lol I believe there is a real heaven and hell and i believe in Jesus and i am not going to argue about it with some fool.
If they want to go to hell, that will be their choice....it doesn't cost anything to believe and if you are wrong you will be toast!

Answer 2

I have met several. For fifteen years I was an I.C.U. Respiratory Therapist and a Christian. I have heard some weirdo stories but most were the same you know the light the light. They really started getting strange after the patient had totally recovered and started to " remember". At least four were writing books all different stories.
CPR was my specialty of course so I worked on some of these death experiences cases myself.
They say they see themselves and everyone in the room but from above. None ever remembered it was me jumping up and down on their chests.
All things are possible under God, but I think I've come as close as I'm likely to get to a real one.

Answer 3

I know a guy that had a very bad car accident he hardly survived. He was in a coma for many weeks but eventually he made a recovery. He was not a religious man - his wife was Catholic and has passed away before he had the accident. Since he recovered he is sure that there is a life in the beyond and has very determinedly become a Catholic to make sure he will join his wife when he goes next time. When you would read this story it does not seem that there is much to go on. However, as anecdotal as it may seem, it gives a strong suggestion that this person became aware of something he wast not sure about or thought about before ie. a life past this one.

Answer 4

I've personally known one, - and their description of their Near-Death-Experience (NDE) was similar to the familiar "light at the end of the tunnel" NDE stories...

Many who have experienced a NDE have reported very similar thoughts and sensations; 'floating above their own body', 'going down a dark tunnel and seeing a bright light', etc..,
--- and there those among them who were rabid atheists before their NDEs who are now staunch believers in God,... in that they feel that their NDEs have allowed them to experience a sliver of a Heavenly afterlife...

Of course, - science has several explanations as to what NDEs most likely are:
One explanation is that a NDE is a natural hallucination generated by a dying brain,...
... perhaps as an evolutionary tool which allows one who is dying to do so without alarming or frightening the herd; such as when a elephant leaves to die, - so as not to slow down the herd...

That said,...
... several years back some doctors were working on this patient's brain, presumably in some sort of treatment for a neurological disorder.
The patient, who was fully conscious during this probing, said that at one point during the probe's stimulation of a particular area of his brain that he experienced visions quite similar to those described in NDEs.

Given my agnostic views, I've always wondered:
... is an NDE a phenomena that can be fully explained through the rationality of science,...
...or is it truly a 'holy' experience.

Or, perhaps it is BOTH?...

For, even now,...
... whenever I read an article where doctors have managed to elicit NDE hallucinations in someone, I have to ask myself:
--- "Did the doctors create the NDE hallucinations with the use of their drugs and/or procedures,...
--- or did they, by using those same drugs and procedures,...
...inadvertantly open that patient's own personal doorway...
... to God?"

Answer 5

Yes, my husband. He was going through some very serious depression and attempted to kill himself many times. He was locked up in the psychiatric ward and hung himself. He was legally dead. He describes it as a very peaceful thing to be dead. It's not heaven or hell, but a sort of peace filled blackness, almost like he was floating in a river. No, that experience did not cure him of his depression. If anything, he strongly believes in an existence beyond the body, a soul if you will, but he's not Christian.

I was also legally dead at a point in my life, when I was born. I obviously don't have any memories of this. Once when I was dangerously drunk I passed out and hit my head, I remember almost veiwing myself lying on the floor, but I don't believe this to be a real experience, merely a dream.

I think a lot of those shows about people and their near death/death experiences are hoaxes or tricks of the mind. Personally, I don't believe my husband's memories of death were really death, but dying and being revived. Of course, I won't argue with him on that point.

Answer 6

Years ago when a heart valve blew it self to bits, i was in the death ward, i turned black and blue and i was cold. Well i tell you the next thing i knew that i was at peace, and i had the biggest smile on my face. I had no thoughts my head wasn't heavy with mindless thinking, i was at rest, but i was still in an hospital ward but this one was so white and bright, and it went for a long distance. But i came back,, my family was beside them selves, i was alive, Praise God! My life changed i was a terrible person always had to be right. that was in 1993 ever since then i have the Lord in my life and I'm not ratty to people, i have time to listen now , so yes it took that episode to bring me up to were i belong.

Answer 7

I nearly had my head decapitated in a snowmobile accident when I was a teenager. I was going to fast around a turn in a field and I lost control of my snowmobile and drove it through a barbed wire fence. I had passed out. My snowmobile was ruined. But somehow I was fine. It was in front of all my family too. I have no memory of what happened when I passed out or during the time I was passed out. So I never saw a white light or anything like that.

Answer 8

i dont think this is the same story as the athiest turning christian but i remember this story about this guy was a satanist...i guess he made it a point to follow satan...he thought it was cool or soemthing but he didnt think that after he had that hell experience. the man apoligzed instantly, he was really sorry but who wouldnt be, ya know?! lol
but yeah...he did a complete 360...hes a pastor now

oh, and one of my friends...a few years after i met her i was told all about her heaven experience. she was only 3...what could she possibly make up at that age and be accurate. she was dead and then she just woke up yelling "gram, big pearls, big pearls" and her gram was like, "what are you talking about?!" well, she just woke up...who knows what she could be talking about, ya know? lol
everthing she explained and descibed...was accurate in the bible! of course she kept on going with her story...she got to sit on his lap! can anyone get more jealous of someone then that to be sitting on the Lord's lap!? he asked her if she wanted to stay or go back...of course, as any 3 year old would say...they want their mom and dad. lol but she asked him if she could come back...and he said yes. there was something about, if you go through the gates and go back out then you cant enter again
she talked about seeing a boy and a girl...one had silver hair and one had gold hair. they written it all down.
its just amazing!
i cant remember what else but i believe that was a true heaven experience
but yeah...all these testimonies and people still wonder if theres a heaven or hell??! lol

Answer 9

me. i had a near death experience when i was 17 yrs old.
i die for more than 3 hours.

my body is ready to be embalmed in morgue but
a coincidence the embalmer is not yet around.

my family and the staff in the morgue was shock and frightened when i get out in the door of the morgue.
my mother had nearly collapsed.

all i can remember in that 3 hrs death is i am sitting on a chair waiting for a bus or other vehicle. but that place isnt our place cuz its winter and raining with snow. the country(Philippines) where i live has no winter season.

Answer 10

A man I knew had a history of heart problems. His son learned CPR "just in case" - then the big one hit, and the man I knew went down. His son could not find a pulse and the man was not breathing; CPR did nothing. The man's son rebuked the spirit of death and commanded his father to return to his body; he came to almost immediately and was ill as a hornet at his son because he had seen Glory and would have been allowed to stay if his son hadn't interfered.
