If we assume that the testimony of Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 is veridical, it would seem very counterintuitive (to me) that experiences of heavenly visitations would never happen again. On the contrary, I would expect more of such experiences to happen to people from time to time. > I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, **I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord**. 2 **I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows.** 3 **And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—** 4 **and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter**. 5 On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses— 6 though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth; but I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me. 7 **So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations**, **a thorn was given me in the flesh**, **a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited**. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
