They didn't experience heaven, they didn't experience anything.One could argue that medical death doesn't equal "true" death, or spiritual death. I mean, they were revived after.
Why would god waste his time sending someone to heaven if he knew they wouldnt' really die.
Also, the after-life as described in the bible isn't really a "Die and go to heaven" deal. It actually details a prolonged state of unconciousness until the coming of Christ's kingdom or whatever, they you are spiritually "resurrected" and get to enjoy the party.
A lot of Christian sects have perverted this aspect of the afterlife to the point of no recognition.
Just playing Devil's advocate for discussion's sake.
