Recently I posted a youtube interview with Ron Reagan, now a pastor from Tennessee. Perhaps you saw that. He actually saw his old friends in hell who told him to leave.

I did not see it, but now I will look for it. I agree, the weight of testimonies coming out thanks to universal access to the internet is awesome. When a person dies and 'comes back' and their testimony is of Jesus, and they return 'converted' to faith in Christ, I know they had a genuine experience of the Lord, and I fully believe the Lord allows such mercy to that one, and also for His testimony to be heard here on earth. I am sure His purpose is being wrought in these circumstances.
I didn't realize when I first posted that this thread was so old, but today I have been considering what you said about Jesus speaking the good news to those when He was in hades for those 3 days. I have always wondered why He went there, because I thought Hades was hell. Why would He go there, I thought, maybe because He had to take possession of the key. But to think of Him announcing Himself as savior to those there....astounding. And I never noticed the verse about the dead hearing the gospel!
I also believe His mercy goes out to every human, including infants, those too young to make such a choice, and those impaired mentally. I'm convinced He is able to witness to every person, in such a way for them to understand, no matter how profoundly impaired in their mind. If that be in spirit after death, He is able to do that in His righteousness.
