Why Christians Scare Me when They Believe Their Passed-Away Relatives Are "in Heaven"

The latest example of it---someone in this Facebook-group commented that their recently passed relative was "called home." https://www.facebook.com/groups/1419913111597698/permalink/1905663889689282/ (In case you can't see it, it's 'the picture' with this note: "Yesterday, Shirley was called home. She was a great mother to one of my friends and the rest of her children and grandchildren. She will be missed by many but always remembered. She always treated me like her own son every time we spoke, she will be missed by her co-workers at Step n Fetchum as well. Prayers for Danny Connaly, he was one of my best friends growing up." (And--except for the 'called home'-comment--the rest of the note is okay---basically saying that 'we'll miss her and we're glad she was here as long as she could be' ... but me & my mouth ... "Liars win when they who know the truth stay silent" ... I "had" to erupt with '.. so when we all rise in the resurrection, she won't be with us because she's already fine where she is?') Maybe I was too "subtle" with that, but I was implying my fear: that--if you claim they've 'gone to Heaven'--you're actually sending them to Hell. I guess that--even if we do send people to Hell (either accidentally or on-purpose)--Our Father can 'veto' our "orders" and bring them back to Heaven. ... or--even if I'm wrong--Our Father can rescue me from whatever foul fate I 'believe' myself into! Amen?

No. We can't believe ourselves into heaven or hell. Only our faith and forgiveness through the ressurection of Jesus determines where we spend eternity. When we die, our soul/spirit goes to either heaven or hell. At the ressurection, our earthly bodies will reunite with our spirits and we will have a spiritual body.

God's standards is way too high so I already gave up on trying to go to heaven which doesn't sound that ideas neither because its an eternal church service.
