Yes, pets are spirits too. The Psalms mentions the gathering of the fallen at each new dawn, can't recall the exact verse.

Also confirmed in NDE accounts of people seeing their old pets in Heaven and farm animals. Portrayed in What Dreams May Come, starring Robyn Williams. I suspect even the trees have a new life after death. The Earth irradiates life, some goes back to God.

Men lose seed every month, and women too, I think this goes back to God or if lost in sin, the angels of death may take advantage, so we must pray for mercy. Only one in six seeds fertilised in wives, comes to grow and be born. I am sure the others return to God fast.

Also I forget the exact verse, but war horses against Israel may have had a bad destiny.

Animals cannot choose to take their own course, or change. Their little minds are more tightly bound.

In Joel it is written, the Spirit is poured out on all flesh.
The Gospel is to be preached to every creature.

My late parish priest, Rev Kev, had prayed for his dog to receive the Holy Spirit, which at that time I thought was wrong. He would apply the blood of Jesus to things, the walls, the Bible, people, maybe the dog. The blood was used in war in Moses day, and could crush evil things.

Do you believe certain animals such as pets went to heaven after they died?

Well in various places in the bible it mentions animals coming from heaven. So there must be animals in heaven.

However certain animals are regarded as 'unclean', even in the New Testament a lot of creatures get a bad rep.

I don't think dogs are in a very good light in the bible.

No, the bible does not regard dogs in a good light. That's a headscratcher. Dogs seem so uniquely suited as friends to humans, and even by the 1st century humans had been breeding dogs for special purposes for more than a thousand years.

We know there are animals in Heaven... Jesus is going to come riding a white horse.

And we know God loves the animals, so it's quite possible that someone can believe the Lord to preserve their pet to be able to live with them in Heaven.

But, it's probably only kids that have enough faith to believe for this... adults, not so much...

Yes, my bird died and I read the account of the Adullam children who saw heaven. They had that text
Romans 8
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
He heard Benny Hinn healing tapes, hahaha, no kidding, it didn´t work though.
I had to take him to the vet and when he had to go he flew away in my hand, he stayed on the same spot, but it was just like he flew into heaven.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Yes pets apparently do go to heaven and some pets are waiting there to be reunited with their owners. I read this in a book written by someone who went to heaven. I think is might have been Oden Hetricks book INSIDE THE GATES OF HEAVEN. Or you can listen to him on youtube. Also spiritlessons give examples of pets in heaven; birds, butterflies, antelope; horses; etc

Ecclesiastes 3:19-21 seems to indicate that animals as a group have no further life after this one.

Is that to say God won't raise some specific animals? No, but neither does it indicate He will.

Personally, I don't believe He will, but if He does, fine, and if He doesn't, that's fine as well.

what is spiritlessons.????? sounds a bit new age to me.

pets in heaven, its just a thought,but thats all it is. its not the gospel.
jesse duplantis said he had a trip to heaven,in a lift :confused: and what he spoke about, what he saw, did not sound right.

2 Corinthians 12
Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
12 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth 4 how that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

It's actually 'spiritlessons.com' and no, it's nothing to do with new age.....I'd run from it if it were. I must read about jesse duplantis......never heard of him. I'm very careful about what I read and what I have to say about the testimony. If I'm wrong then I'm up against God. I was taught that tongues is no longer in use and that no-one has dreams from God etc. But during my 2 years away from the church I studied the bible with Jesus and He showed me that tongues is still around and to be acted on according to His Word and also that dreams and visions are being poured out on those that believe. If you don't believe then He won't give you what you don't believe in.

never heard of the term spirit lessons, thats why i asked.

hey ,good for you ,for searching it out,about tongues and gifts.

i believe in all the spirituel gifts.

1 Corinthians 12
King James Version (KJV)
12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
