Sure they are, because anybody who has claimed to have acheived it is lying (at least in the sense to which you are referring).

The truth of the matter is that all humans are immortal. Sure we all die, but we are eternal beings and will spend eternity either in Paradise or Perdition. So where will you be for all eternity?

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him (John 3:36 NIV)."
