So called personal "concepts" people express after gathering and sorting "opinions" they have heard from other people are fine, as long as the concept is attributed to what that person learned from people. But such "chaff" (Jer 23:28-30) is not of God (Num 23:19; Ps 1:1-4). The Lord does not accept our religious wormwood (Jer 23:1-3,15), and John the Baptist told us that Christ has come to burn the chaff with an unquenching fire (Jer 23:28-30; Matt 3:11-12).

Heaven according to scripture is the abode of God's secrets (Deut 29:29; 30:12; Rom 10:6) and men's trespassing imaginations since men who cannot know heavenly things (Rev 19:11,12-13). Heaven worshipers are due the wrath of God (Rom 1:18-19; Rev 19:11-13,14-21) for having not studied and learned those same secrets of heaven that have been revealed to us from generatio to generation (Deut 29:29; 30:14; Rom 1:17; 10:8,17).

Just before Jesus cursed men for their religious imaginations of heaven (Matt 8:11-12), Jesus praised the centurion who had a troubled servant in his house who was a believer in Christ. After Jesus offered to go to the centurion's house and heal the servant, the centurion withheld Christ. The centurion explained that he and his men were trained under one common authority. If the centurion told a man to go and do something, he knew that the man would go and do their common knowledge. If the centurion told a man to go and say something, he knew the man would go and say their common knowledge. Knowing that it was a Jewish sin for either Jesus or the centurion's servant to be in a Gentile's house, the centurion answered, "Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed." That's why Christ praised the common faith the centurion kept between himself, his soldiers, his household and those outside his authority (Matt 8:8,9-10) in the same breath Christ cursed idiots whorshipping heavenly hearsay (Matt 8:11-12; Rev 19:11,12-13)

Yes. Christ rose to be secret in heaven, not only where men don't know Him (Rev 19:11,12-13), but to gather together the other imaginations men have concocted in replacement of those who died giving the testimony (Rev 6:9-10,11), until the assigned time for the white robe imaginations to war God's shock therapy upon earth capers (Rev 19:14-21; Luke 10:15-16,16,16).
