To me it seems a little unwise to base our belief system on NDE's.

When most Christians say hell they mean Hades which is in the pit of the earth. The lake of fire is understood to be the second or final hell by most Christians. I'm not saying what he saw was what Jesus considered to be outer darkness, but it can explain how it's possible to have burning in a place with no light.
And I agree we shouldn't base our theology off NDEs but off the word of God. But sometimes these experiences can give us greater insight, with discernment of course, and we should reject that ones the clearly go against God's word or deny Jesus' words.
