How would we know and what is the importance for us? This seems like you are thinking up stuff which lack substance

I think this is an interesting question.
After all they lied to God and dropped dead.
Did you never ask yourself where they are?

That fact remains none of us can say for sure where anyone ends up!!!
Only God knows that.

Mr. Frederik:
I pray this communication finds you experiencing God's best. In reference to your question about Ananias and Saphira, let' s first look at the offense that happened there. The offense of Ananias and Saphira, according to the average standard of human morality, was not a heinous one. They had devoted a large sum to charity; they had defrauded no one but simply retained their own and then denied the fact. Simply put, they were hypocrites. This couple were deliberate, positve, and conceited. Their death was God's declaration to all future ages of the true deserts of all deliberate hypocrites in the Church of Jesus Christ. Moreover, it may be added, that, this was evidently a "sin leading to death," that is, physical death. It is written in 1JOHN Chapter 5 and verse 16, that, "If any man see his brother sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it." A similar illustration is outlined in 1Corinthians Chapter 5, verses 1 through 5, where it is written, "It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such and one unto Satan FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FLESH, THAT THE SPIRIT MAY BE SAVED IN THE DAY OF THE LORD JESUS," Praise the Lord? So since the sin of Ananias and Saphira was NOT A HEINOUS SIN, LIKE BLASPHEMY OF THE HOLY GHOST, which is the only sin that keeps you out of heaven if you are already saved, It is SAFE TO SAY, that you will see Ananias and Saphira again in heaven, in Jesus' name.
