How Do Christians Really Know That Heaven Exists? (Jesus, elders)

[roli]

As Christians we don't merely just believe and think that makes what we believe true.
The born again Christian does not just have a mere intellectual awarness of God ,heaven, hell,Jesus, but he has a verifiable assurance and a guarantee given to them by the Holy Spirit of God deposited into their spirit.
I really don't think most outside the Christian faith comprehend this key to why Christians are so self assured in the truth of God ,heaven,hell etc..
Many think that Christians are arrogant and self righteous in thinking and professing their religion is the true path to God and heaven and those outside the Christian faith question as to why their god or perception of heaven should be disgarded.
That assurance we have as Christians is unlike anything this world can comprehend,when much of the world speculates in their own personal concepts of God,basing it on philosophical analysis,feelings,writings,teachings etc.
Christians have working on the inside of them a inner witness, that verifies the truth of what God's word says.


How do you know what you believe about death, heaven, hell, or the next life is true or not ?
Do you have any confirmation certainity and assurance that your idea of god and heaven is the right path or is it merely speculation, through reasoning and rationale, maybe even conviction brought on by certain teachings you have heard.

What we individually perceive as "real" and "true" IS real and true for as long as we so perceive. There's no way to know the difference until after it is no longer "real" or "true" to us.

The only way you can be aware of what you interpret to be something 'deposited in your spirit' is a combination of a feeling and teachings. It's not quite as unlike what everybody else has as you imagine.

1)Sent from there known since birth.
2)Died at 23 and found elders welcomed me back home.
3)Name in most religious books globally, as the same as seen when NDE.


So what assurance?

No one knows what happens after you die or that heaven and hell actually exist, one only has faith that they know about these things. I don't believe in an afterlife, heaven or hell. Could I be wrong? Sure. But since I don't know anyone that has been to heaven or hell, I choose to believe that they don't exist.

This is hell we are living, you can tell this as no one listens.......
When you just said you had done that....then why follow my post by the exact opposite?

I think it would be very unfair if I were in Hell because I don't know what I did to get here.

It's not a matter of listening, wiz. People claim alien abductions too. Isolated, unconfirmed claims meet only a few people's standard of evidence. If there is such certainty (as claimed by the OP), there should be consistent, verifiable evidence. If there isn't, then it's perfectly reasonable to treat the claim as just a another claim.
