I don't know if we know. Is it possible for loved ones in heaven,

edit actually i wont comment

God is the God of the living and not of the dead. The dead sleep and wait to be called to judgement. They have no say at all anymore in our realm.
Their time is out

I thing "great cloud of witnesses" means those who were witnesses for God while here on earth. JMO .. As to the OP question, I don't think they can, because the bible says "former things are remembered no more".

Revelation 6:9-10 ESV:

[SUP]9 [/SUP]When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. [SUP]10 [/SUP]They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

ty. I see this clearly now. To think of it now, the bible says, that Jesus is our advocate to the Father, and no man, stands in the gap. Thank you, for throwing water on, (spiritual water), ha to wake me up, goes to show you check the clock, nite time. zzzzzzz.

I sometimes have conflicted thoughts about it. I know Jesus said the path is narrow.

I know that by the example with the thief one can entry at the last moments. Such is the abounding mercy of God.
i think the parable of the talents speaks to this.

I am not God, obviously. His thoughts are not mine. I realize the bible makes some clear remarks about who may go to heaven or not. Jesus says many things about it, including "Lord, Lord, I did many things in your name...I never knew you",
and “How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.
and, "I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like ... and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will ... and become like littlechildren, you will never get into the kingdom from heaven. ... But Jesus said, "Let the littlechildren come to Me, and do not hinder them!

So then, how does God judge a infant or child. Or even a teenager? Those who never saw a bible or heard of Jesus?
I don't know all the answers. Suffice to say I believe God is just and fair, and He has a way.
that is such.

I sometimes even wonder what percentage go to the heaven. Not many the bible says. 20%, a third? Whatever it is, it is chilling to think that probably a good many of my friend s and family are not going, despite their protestations to me as to why I am wrong.

I made a long list of people all the way through high schol and 20 years on. Prayed earnestly. One day a friend when we werre 17 sat right next to me, and couldn.t believe it was me, I felt like I just saw him yesterday in my spirit, and he was drawn. Yes I pray always, "Pray always in every circumstance."bible verse

Its good to know that you have prayed for their salvation. We cannot comprehend the mind of God. His ways are mysterious. We cannot judge and only God can judge us. We can never tell but with our prayers for them, Jesus might show up in their deathbeds or in their dreams and as He reveal himself gave them a word of salvation.

For it is written, if you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. Its a word from Jesus himself. Would He not hear your hearts desire?

That theory to me looks like the thin edge of the wedge leading to the promotion of us praying to the dead for their intercession before God........ catholic religion, praying to dead Saints and Mary instead of relying on the intercession of our LORD Jesus Christ....

Be wary where the thoughts of men may lead you..

But still i encourage you, if you would ask for help, its best to ask the Lord and he shall give His angels charge over you.
