The Bible says that all souls go to the graveyard and one day Jesus will return and resurrect everyone for judgement... Those who do not pass judgement will THEN go into the lake of fire (hell)... and NO one has been in heaven except for Jesus until the day of judgement...

We dont go to hell, we are already in hell...
And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.
10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

Here's something else John writes in the book of Revelation:
Revelation 4:1-2
1) After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2) And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

I would suggest that you stop believing the stories of another, they are manipulated fairy tales.
Through my own direct experience in the spirit world I can attest to much of what these holy books state, but its not as simple as they make it out to be. Language fails to describe the truth of what is and these books are the remnant writings that have been squeezed through 3-4 languages before being read today, meetings of many men were held to edit these writings to remove anything they desired not to be seen.
Do not hold them as absolute for even a single moment, for they are the product of man, not god.
Man knows nothing of god, we drop to our knees in awe and the tiniest scraps of understanding we can muster can only be related to what we already know, the image of our selves, something that would be relevant to us.
There is no hell, there is no heaven - What exists beyond the yawning grave is beyond anything you could possibly imagine.
Its time to stop playing in the card board box my friends,

Before you say it's from Satan, make sure you read your bibles:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." (Gal. 5:22-23)
The Bible says that you can test any spirit to see if it's of God by seeing if it has love, joy, and peace, and this is what ALL that sees heaven explain! Satan can nott be love joy peace even IF he does look like an angel because those are fruits of spirit!
So, what is your explaination of this?

But the bible says that no one has gone to heaven EXCEPT the one who came from it and that was Jesus.
How on Earth did you get "no one has gone and return" from "no one has gone EXCEPT the one who came from it"

Are you saying that John ascended to Heaven? This was a dream.
