    A Problem With The Pre-Tribulational Rapture

    I believe scripture teaches they are all one and the same event, Jen. When Jesus comes (at His Second Advent) we have plenty of scripture which tells us that His angels gather----the good.........from heaven and earth (Mt. 24:30-31, Mk. 13:27, I Thess. 4:14-17, II Thess. 2:1) and the "good"...

    A Problem With The Pre-Tribulational Rapture

    But the problem the pre-trib rapturists have is reconciling all the passages that say those who are IN CHRIST (and Jesus already knows all who are His----past, present, and future) are NOT appointed to wrath. You have people who WILL BE in Christ receiving God's Wrath. So one either has to...

    A Problem With The Pre-Tribulational Rapture

    What do you make of this scripture: "............He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." Mt. 3:12 compare that passage to Mt. 13:38-43 Then look at II thess. 1:7-10 Do you see anything...

    ALL Christians raptured?

    Hello BIC, Yes, I agree with you that I Cor. 15 is the "resurrection" chapter, but I don't believe it speaks about MANY different resurrections for those who are "in Christ"-----there is only 1 resurrection. It will occur when Jesus leaves heaven (bringing the dead IN CHRIST) with Him and...

    A Problem With The Pre-Tribulational Rapture

    Scripture does not teach that we go to heaven while those who are (will be) our brothers sisters IN JESUS are on earth suffering. I thess. 4:14-17 doesn't state that, nor do any of the scriptures above state that. The early church never believed that/ nor taught that because as the bible...

    A Problem With The Pre-Tribulational Rapture

    Wow, I can't even believe that would come out of the mouth of a Christian, but these days, nothing surprises me. Just as the Pharisees believed THEY only could really expound on the law, even today, we have people who think a Bible doctorate gives on credibility on properly interpreting the...

    A Problem With The Pre-Tribulational Rapture

    The only problem with that is that I Thess. 4:14-17 does not state that believers are taken back to heaven while those who are not yet born again (but will be) are left here suffering while we "party" in heaven. When Jesus comes He is bringing back with Him all the dead in Christ (which...

    ALL Christians raptured?

    No, I only see 2 groups there, Christ the firstfruit, then we who are His at His coming.........THEN comes the END (see Rev. 11:18, II Thess. 1:7-10). Don't understand what you are saying above about II Pet. 1:4. Nowhere in Dan. 12 does it say that this resurrection only pertains to OT...

    ALL Christians raptured?

    There is ONE BODY of Christ(Eph. 4)...........and one is either in it, or they are OUT of it and do not receive salvation. If one is IN the body of Christ, they are IN the Church, for the Body and the Church are one and the same (Eph. 2:23-24). Personally, I don't get why some divide NT...

    ALL Christians raptured?

    There are two----Christ is the firstfruits, THEN those who are HIS AT HIS COMING (see Jn 6:36-44, I Thess 4:14-17, Mt. 24:30-31, Mk. 13:27, II Thess. 1:7-10----notice that we are told in II Thess. 1:7-10 to "rest" waiting for the time when Jesus is revealed from heaven with His angels in flaming...

    ALL Christians raptured?

    After the tribulation of those days, Jesus shall send forth His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will GATHER His elect (Mt. 24:30-31, Mk. 13:27)........ .......Jesus Christ whom heaven must receive UNTIL the times of restoration of ALL Things (Acts 3:19-21) In the...

    ALL Christians raptured?

    I agree, but the scripture says at the LAST trump. When do we see resurrection at a trump and all things being finished: Rev. 10:7, 11:15-18. Until that time, Jesus will not yet have claimed all that is HIS---given to Him by the Father since the foundations of the world. Blessings.......

    Do you believe these saints are part of the Body of Christ?

    ALL Christians raptured?

    I absolutely agree with you, Zeke! Jesus will only come back to the earth when His Body has been completed---not until that time (II Pet. 3:3-9). Then, He will come for a COMPLETE collection----the living and the "dead" (Eph. 1:10, Acts 3:19-21, I Thess. 4:14-17, Mt. 24:30-31, Mk. 13:27...
