But the reality is that any one of us will only KNOW the actual truth of any higher power and afterlife when we pass on.

This is not so. When the Spirit of God comes upon or within a man they can feel it. It provides a peace beyond understanding, which cannot be explain in human terms or words. It exceeds the understanding of the conscience state or soul, because it is not limited to the knowledge that we attain in our minds. The Spirit is all knowledge and all knowing. The Spirit in itself can move the soul to where it is to attain the knowledge to do good works. The host must only listen and obey, for the Spirit brings Life, and is interested in the wellfare of the Soul. The Spirit testifys to the soul that it is a child of God. This is why Paul et al. were compelled to share the Good News to others. They wanted to share something that is beyond words, hoping that the listener will want to receive what they have. When you received a really awesome present, did you ever want to share it with someone? A person does not have to wait until death to learn if there is a "higher power". They can experience it now, today within their soul. The Kingdom of God is at hand, it is in reach right now. If someone asked you, if you died would you go to Heaven? What would your answer be? For those that believe it would be Yes!, for they are given the Spirit and can identify with it. The very testimony you hear gives witness to the Spirit, it is very much alive. The flesh might die but the soul will not taste death.
