In some Eastern Orthodox descriptions of the afterlife, the aerial tollhouses are stations through which the recently departed soul must pass in order to approach the throne of God. This theory is highly controversial. Opponents claim that the teaching is a manifestation of a species of neo-Gnosticism, while proponents claim that to deny it is to ignore many patristic texts that support it.
