What do Christians view of NDE's?
Why do they call the ones that don't include Jesus satanic and the ones that do Holy and amazing?

In brief, the Christian has faith in becoming Christlike ("beloved, now are we the Sons of God...and we know that when He (the Christ, Truth) shall appear, we shall be like Him"), and the Son of God has opposition.
Christians believe Christ Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, the open door no man can shut. Therefore, any spiritual or extraordinary experience that includes Christ Jesus is of the Good, God, and without this, not so.
A good Christian point of view of what happens during such experience is C. S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce."

How would you expect a Christian to view things other than this way? Very straightlaced Christians often have very black and white beliefs. But then so do many nonChristians. I am Christian, and I believe that in a near death experience you can get a flashforward of what fate awaits you. Its likely holy and amazing if it feels safe and warm and good. Its likely demonic if it hurts or is scary.
