LIFE AFTER DEATH by Gordon Lindsay
I have now listened to the book, LIFE AFTER DEATH, by Gordon Lindsay and found it to be very theologically sound. He did get into some extra biblical stuff when he described the visions of Marietta Davis, but he was careful to examine it to be sure nothing contradicted scripture. I have copied the following passage from the PDF Chapter 4 for your examination:
"The Bible is complete in its revelation and establishing doctrine. Basic facts concerning the state of both the righteous and the wicked who have died have been fully revealed. We may discount the claims of spiritualism, regarding the supposed communication with the dead as not true or a counterfeit. Such manifestations are actually impersonations of wicked spirits who pretend to be departed friends or relatives of those who violate the command of the Scriptures in seeking to communicate with the dead (Isaiah 8:19-20). However, there have been authenticated cases down through the church age of people who apparently died, and then were permitted to return to tell the story. At the command of Christ, Lazarus, after being dead for four days, returned to life. If his experience had been recorded and preserved, he would have had an interesting story. Jesus told the disciples there would be occasions when they would raise the dead (Matthew 10:8). Such events happened under the ministries of Peter and Paul (Acts 9:40). Similar occurrences have taken place since, during the Church Age. There have been a few cases of people whose spirits temporarily left this world, but then were restored to their bodies. These various accounts of what happened between the time the spirit left and then returned to the body are in close harmony with Bible revelation.
There have also been notable instances of persons who have been caught up to Paradise or the third heaven – whether in the body, or out of the body, they, like the Apostle Paul, have not always been certain (2 Corinthians 12). No doubt, the most remarkable of all such instances in modern times is that of Marietta Davis, who for nine days lay in a trance from which she could not be awakened and during which times she witnessed visions of heaven and hell."
