Your entire argument is based on your own faith. and as such is an obvious and biased attempt to discredit anyone else's personal beliefs.
You try to define what 'New Age' spiritualists are, but the fact is that it the 'new age' label is just a coverall name to describe pretty much anyone that doesn't follow one of the well known mainstream religions, even agnostics.
WHY is it so very important to you to constantly make these kinds of posts?
Too bad if your wrong about your own beliefs hey, what would that mean for you?
The REAL truth is quite simply this: NO ONE REALLY KNOWS AND EVEN THE MOST ANCIENT OF RELIGIONS IS PURELY SPECULATIONS AND UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS BY PEOPLE LONG DEAD.
Believing in a given religion with such fervour is no different to condemming someone to death without first gathering evidence and having a trial.

I also think the Bible said...
"Judge not lest ye be judged"
And the judgmental tone of this post; I don't think will lead anyone to salvation. To mean spirited imo.
As I said my post will offend... The Bible says some people override their consciences until they are callused and unaffected (1 Timothy 4:2)... Only Christ can give people what they need emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
We are not God and can never become enlightened by our own actions. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth.

To death! lol
If read correctly one would understand that no one gos to hell and the alternative to heaven is being written out of the book of life (this is for those that deny being spiritual and only want carnal things) So its ether heaven or Nirvana. Ever lasting life with no pain and suffering. Or ever lasting nothingness with no pain and suffering.
The key here is "JESUS LOVES ALL HIS CHILDREN" No need for suffering lol
Truly spiritual people don’t view themselves as spiritual at all.

The Bible says Jesus Christ is the only mediator. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5
So I am afraid your new age ways will not get you to heaven.

You do understand that the universe is destroyed and recreated by Jesus, right?
And that when you die you "know nothing, see nothing and hear nothing" You know that place called purgatory that isn't an actual place but death waiting to be reborn?
When Jesus went to "Hell" after he was crucified, he didn't burn for all eternity in fire.... HE RESTED. AS IN DID NOTHING.
I said pretty please......?
God tells us that our spirits are dead!
The Holy Spirit describes unsaved people as having been dead men and women who were walking around.
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:34-35)

Then again, as an evolutionary Christian mystic, I believe in the cosmological Christ as the personhood of God, who was, who is and who is to come - not a bearded man in the sky who, after the appropriate amount of death and destruction will come literally flying in, say at the leading edge of a bunch of UFO's, and scare the living crap (the beJesus?) out of everyone, until they all repent and every knee bows at the sight of it.

1. There is an afterlife.
2. Jesus didn't go to hell.
3. When a person dies, they will be judged and spend an eternity in hell for there sins. Or they have been covered by the blood of Christ and there name is written in the Lambs book of life.
