799. I spoke with many followers of those three leaders and also with many heretics. I was allowed to draw the conclusion that any of them who had led a life of charity, and more so those who had loved truth because it is true, allow themselves to be taught in the spiritual world, and accept the teachings of the new church. Those, however, who have convinced themselves of false religious beliefs, and those too who have led a wicked life, do not allow themselves to be taught, and these withdraw little by little from the new heaven, and associate with the people like themselves who are in hell. There they become more and more convinced in their firm opposition to the worship of the Lord, to such a point that they cannot bear to hear the name of Jesus. It is the reverse of this in heaven, where all with one accord acknowledge the Lord as the God of heaven.
