stood beside Jesus and saw there loved ones but came back to earth and claim to have the power to heal and see ahead? What are they?

Well, Mark, there's no uniform perspective on the afterlife among Christians.  I'll give you my perspective, which is that of an evangelical, non-denominational Christian.  I believe that 2 Corinthians 5:8 tells us the souls of believers will go to Heaven immediately after death and we will retain consciousness at all times.  An unrighteous person who has not accepted Jesus Christ goes immediately to a place Jesus called "torments" after death (Luke 16:23).  The unrighteous dead also retain full consciousness.  At the Rapture of the Church, the bodies of the righteous will be resurrected and reunited with their souls, which are in Heaven (1 Thes. 4:13-16).  Upon being resurrected, these bodies will be made immortal.  These immortal beings will co-rule with Jesus as kings and judges (although some will serve as priests or teachers), over those who survive the 7-year Tribulation and their future children (Rev. 6-19).  Jesus will hold an absolute monarchy, however.  There will be no kings higher than He.\n\nThe souls of the unrighteous remain in "torments" for 1,000 years after Jesus Christ's return to earth; at that time, their bodies are also resurrected, reunited with their souls and they are judged by Jesus according to the works they have done.  This is known as the "Great White Throne Judgement."  Since no one can be justified without faith, all are thrown into the "Lake of Fire," which I believe destroys the person forever; other Christians believe the punishment goes on forever, but I disagree with this.  (See Rev. 20:11-15).\n\nI am very involved with God; I view my relationship with God to be intensely personal and I feel as if He's more than a Master to me -- I feel He's my friend, too; I read the Bible daily, pray many times in a day (spontaneously, not at a set time), and evangelize to non-believers when I get the chance.  I attend Church at least once per week; twice if I'm in need.  I occasionally serve on the telephone prayer line for my Church, which has two nationally televised tv shows per week.  I have a secular job, although I have been praying for a new job with a Christian mission or other type of employer.\n\nI hope this helps.  Let me know if you need more information, I wasn't sure how detailed you wanted me to get.

I can understand your confusion. No problem asking for clarification, so don't feel like you need to apologize.\n\nMt.20:23-\nJesus made it clear that He had a mission, and the Father had particular tasks as well as the Holy Spirit. Example, Jesus does not know the hour of His return, only the Father. This is a direct parallel the the Jewish wedding. While Jesus was on earth in bodily form, He is unable to be with everyone at once--this is the role of the Holy Spirit. Jesus made it clear that who sits where is a role that is the Father's only.\n\nMk 6:5\nJesus did not do miracles to those who wanted parlor tricks. Jesus would only do miracles for those who had the faith in Him. Look at his meeting with Harod. Harod was glad to see Jesus and hoped that He would do a miracle for him, but Jesus would not. God's plan was not to "impress" people. Jesus had specific reasons for doing and not doing miracles. Jesus was in His hometown and everyone questioned Him and doubted His authority. He could have done a big SPFX thing, but that would not bring the kind of faith and belief He desired. Who was the person that Jesus was most impressed with? The Centurion who said, "Just say the word, Jesus and my servant will be healed." Jesus marveled and basically said, in effect, "This is the faith I have been looking for!"\n\nMt.28:18\nThis is true. And He weilds that power as He sees fit. From my experiences, He does it with a whisper and not a shout.\n\nI hope this answers your questions. You might glean much from my studies.

those who are left behind will be standing around wondering what happened.  God will rapture Christians to heaven and begin judgment on earth for anyone left behind [regardless of their religion] ,because those who had a personal relationship with God through Christ Jesus are all gone [went to heaven with Christ]. \n\nWant to go to heaven? http://www.NeedGod.com

Christ saved my soul for one!...  Thank you Jesus.\n\nThree years ago he healed me of epilepsy.  \n\nWhen my daughter was two years old we were getting ready to go out and I just put her in the tub, seconds later I heard her screaming from the next room.  I was only away from her for a moment.  I ran to her and her face was covered in blood.  She had cut her lip up really bad and laid it open with a razor. I jerked her out of the tub and placed a towel over her face and began praying in the spirit for healing. I didn't even think of taking her to the E.R.  God just took over. I'm not sure how long I prayed but after a while I felt this perfect peace and removed the towel.  Her lip was perfectly new, not a spot of blood.  PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!...

Philip one of the disciples ask  Jesus to show them the Father. And Jesus answered him: 'have I been w/ you for just a short time, how come you are asking me to show you the father? Those who have seen me has seen the Father. If you don't believe me, then believe in the WORKS that I did'.\n\nIn short Jesus was telling the disciples that he did what his Father would have done if He came to earth. Just like a son, doing the works of a father--we say: 'like father, like son'.

This was close enough ton a miracle for me.\n\nSeveral years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away. \n\nWhile driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.\n\nThree days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to. \n\nI feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.\nDuring the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible. \n\nI can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.\n\n I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings. \n\nYour brother don

I believe that everyone has an angel, usually more than one, as well as spirit guides with them all of the time.  Alot of people have said that they, too, have seen their angel.  Most people, however, aren't that lucky or simply choose not to see.  The blue lights were probably the energies of your guides, and their voices often come all at one time.  Even very eperienced  'psychics' need to work very hard to filter the voices and actually hear what they are saying.  If you wish to open yourself further to your angel, talk to him/her.  Don't feel silly.  Most major religions believe in them--ArchAngel Michael, for example.  Say "I hear you. Talk to me more... what is your name?"  Then wait for your answer.  I'm Catholic,  and one of the major prayers begins..." I believe in one God, the father,the almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, of all things seen and unseen..."   You are blessed to have seen the unseen.

Ah...a tricky question to answer.  \n\nGod brought me into existence--once again--to learn more in this lifetime.  He's done this several times, I believe.  \n\nHe sent Jesus in the role of Avatar in order to help all of us move further along our path of spiritual enlightenment.  That's what an avatar does.  {No, it's not just your Yahoo picture...}\n\nThe first was going to happen, anyway.  The second was the greater gift, IMHO.

They visited many times, I went to there church a number of times. studyed there book.was about to be baptized, then I told them of some miracles, that had happened in my family, they got up. said only priest and higher ups in there church Can do miracles and even called me crazy.They said it to each other as they left, but I heard them. I called them a week later the elder called me crazy again, straight out..I was fine till I told them about the miracles. Yes they are pagans.They think that only people in there church can preform miracles, which that's not the case at all. the spirit of God can work with &  thru anyone and anything. not just people in there church. they only believe in themselfs.and that book. not anything real.not the spirit of God. when you think you have a monopoly on the spirit of God. then you are lost. I think, The spirit of God is there for everyone.

Well, did you ever consider the fact that He might have just appeared; but you didn't recognize him?\n\nBecause you had a preconcieved notion as to what you wnted to appear before you.\n\nAnd then, consider the original saying was closer to "Call my name and I shall be beside thee"\n\nHe is always beside you trying to help you see the Light.\n\nPity is you wanted to see something else, hence that's what you got.\n\nAsk, and it shall be given, remember?\n\nIf you really want to see Jesus, then don't keep all these thoughts in your mind and call Him.\n\nYou get just what you are thinking while you mouth the lie.\n\nPeace

What ever gave you the Idea they were eyewitnesses. The scriptures never claim such.\nFor these authors to have the knowledge that they do Jesus promised to send them the Holy Spirit before his Ascension into Heaven. at that time he told his apostles that would be given full recollection of all that had happened. This is why many people use the term inspired. for their knowledge of the events came from God rather than man.

12:7  Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. \n\nEVERYBODY RETURNS TO GOD.\n\nBut that doesn't mean everybody will be smiling when they see God.

The dead do not come back and visit us.  They may be feeling spirits, but it's not their departed relatives.  It is demonic and is meant to lure you into false teaching.  Don't believe it.\n\nLuke 16:19-31 tells it well.  When Jesus used parables, He did not use names for the people in the story.  This is a true account and not a parable.  The man wanted to come back and couldn't.  If people could come back, they would only be declaring the Gospel I believe.
