His site http://www.4hispeople.com/having claimed 'inspired dreams", ( which too often talk about others who are not living up to his expectation etc) , seem to attract gullible people who follow those who often condemn others. Life goes on...

A while ago I had a customer tell me all about this site. She is one of our stalwart church members. I thought the same thing, how can anyone be taken in by this?

I just browsed the website. Honestly (In my opinion) the website is bogus and should be banned. I feel that if this guy strongly beleives his dreams are what he thinks they are, then he should write it down for himself, not for the public.
I can see this guy forming another cult within christianity.

It is because of those freedoms that you are entitled to your opinion and are entitled to the opportunity to express it (even as you have done in this online post). If his freedoms to do so were taken from him, it would only be just to take yours from you as well.

We are all herd animals, we like to belong to a group. There is an old saying that the best way to be good friends is to have a common enemy. I would like to think this is not true, however we are drawn to those who think as we.
That being said, many are drawn to the small group against the whole theory. To be a part of something; to be a part of something bigger than life; to be different.
Sadly, it appears that this type of person fills a need not filled by anything else.

What I found bothersome was that he prayed to God to speak to him as He did to others in the old testiment. Since when do we mere humans demand God Talk to us and any way, shape or form? And being an SDA who says he believes in soul sleep, why then did God give him a dream of seeing family members in heaven?And then there are the churches who are inviting this guy to speak on these dreams as if they were truth. Oh and Gods favorite version of the bible is the King James. LOL

9On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
And,
8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Wasn't John swept away in vision of things happening in heaven? Didn't Ellen White also have a vision of those who were walking the road (presumably after death) toward heaven?
