What carries authority here
Is Heaven Real? is a Fall 7 Rise 8 Christian ministry project of Felipe Soares. Scripture is its doctrinal foundation. Original studies identify interpretation; experience accounts identify what is reported; research is assessed by methods; artwork is a depiction. These categories are never interchangeable.
Two essential guardrails
A biblical parallel is not authentication. Silence is not automatically contradiction. A compatible image does not verify a modern event, and a detail not described in Scripture is not automatically a conflict with it.
The starting review depth
All 76 source records show Reference/catalog entry and the supplied research snapshot of 2026-10-10. The registry’s rights and access notes are preserved intact; some describe limited abstract or preview review. These do not imply this site has completed full-source review. No named independent reviewer or institutional endorsement is claimed.
The seven dossiers are public-source overviews. Their exact dates, medical records, independent witnesses, and licensed transcripts were not supplied. Authors and research studies are not counted as individual NDEs; claimed visions remain distinct.
Doctrine and disagreement
The site affirms Christian hope in Christ, resurrection, new creation, grace, and accountability. The ministry’s detailed positions on final punishment, canon, and present-day visions have not yet been supplied. We do not infer them from its name or settle disputed doctrines on its behalf.
Eternal conscious punishment, conditional immortality, and universalist arguments are presented as attributed viewpoints. Catholic and Orthodox material is labeled by tradition. We never declare the salvation or damnation of an identifiable individual.

Rights, review, and corrections
Free access does not authorize copying, scraping, republishing, or AI ingestion. Transcript, display, translation, retrieval, training, export, and derivative-art permissions must be assessed separately. We link external works rather than bulk-importing restricted texts.
Future substantive case assessments require qualified human review with recorded scope, actual reviewers, and decisions. Changes and retractions must remain traceable without exposing revoked private information. Public corrections and private evidence handling will use a connected service; neither is simulated here.

AI and visual integrity
Live AI chat is not enabled. Future answers must retrieve only permitted, published passages; check exact quotations; distinguish interpretation from evidence; state uncertainty; and refuse to invent claims. Private submissions will never belong in public retrieval.
Current landscapes are AI-assisted symbolic or Scripture-inspired art, never witness reconstructions or documentary evidence. Captions disclose their textual basis and additions.
