As you can see by the above listings, there are a number of books, chapters and versus from the Bible that confirms that Spiritualist phenomena has been active for thousands of years.

When one reads the New testament, he/she can even find many references to life after death as expressed by Jesus when he said to his decuples, "In my fathers house are many mansions" (John 14:4).

The spirit world exist and all humans will go there when they make the change called death.  We are spirits living in a human body to experience life as only this physical world can provide us.

it is up to the individual to determine for him/herself whether the information in the various Bible versus are from a disincarnate spirit, other than God or from God.  The majority of Christians will tell you that the communications as described in the Bible were directly from God to man even if those communications were through a prophet (medium).  Yes, a profit is a medium a person who stands between God and man to give information to the recipient.  This point can be argued for a long time only to have the individuals arguing not being able to convince the other of their truth.

In many respects, Spiritualism and Christianity are at logger heads over incidentals that have little value, scientifically or otherwise.  The truth boils down to what are your personal beliefs and why do you hold them so tenaciously?

In general, Spiritualists do not, normally, try to convince anyone that their beliefs are the only true ones and that all others are wrong.  If a person clam's to be a Spiritualist and tries to push his/her beliefs off on another, he/she is a fraud not a Spiritualist.

The true purpose of Spiritualism is to provide information to the public that life continues after the change called death and that deceased individual's spirit can be communicated with; proof of continuity of life.
