Comment: too many issues! Break them up!
1.
Total Depravity of Man
= Calvinistic false doctrine
2.
Enthroning the Bible in your Heart = never heard of it!
The Bible is the miraculous spirit-inspired and superintended "word of GOd".
3.
Ask Jesus into Your Heart.
Not Biblical. God Calls. Man accepts or rejects His spiritual calling by the choice of his "free will"
4.
The Rapture (LATIN: "rapturo"
Scripture supports it.
RAPTURE...comes from the Latin "rapturo"(?) = ~caught up, snatched, raptured
RETURN...RESURRECTION...RAPTURE...REUNION
....a predicted event happening on the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem:
BEFORE the end of the TRIBULATION / GREAT TRIBULATION:
SEE: Matthew 24: 4-28
and AT (?) his SECOND COMING:
See: Matthew 24: 29-31
To the Church in Philadelphia:
Revelations 3:10...
10....I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world
to test those who live on the earth. 11 I am coming soon.
Revelations 19: 11-16....The Rider on the White Horse
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse,
whose rider is called Faithful and True.
With justice he judges and makes war.
12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns.
He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.
"He will rule them with an iron scepter."
He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Why?:..."encourage each other with these words..."
1 Thessalonians 1:10
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven,
whom he raised from the dead—Jesus,
who rescues us from the coming wrath.
THE RAPTURE:
1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18 (NIV)....
RETURN - RESURRECTION - RAPTURE - REUNION
13 Brothers (BELIEVERS), we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep (Body dies),
or to grieve like the rest of men (UNBELIEVERS), who have no hope.(...BELIEVERS have hope/faith in eternal life )
14 We (BELIEVERS) believe that Jesus died and rose again and
so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep (Body dies) in (BELIEVING IN) him.
15 According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we (BELIEVERS) who are still alive,
who are left till the (SECOND) coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep (Body died).
16 For the Lord himself (Jesus) will COME DOWN from HEAVEN, (in the Resurrected Spirit-Body of Jesus?)
with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God,
and the dead (bodies) in Christ (BELIEVERS) will rise first.
17 After that, we (BELIEVERS) who are still alive and are left will be caught up (snatched/raptured)
together with them ("dead in Christ") in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air (spiritual "heaven").
And so we will be with the Lord forever....(body/soul/spirit reunited and in the presence of Jesus in heaven)
18 Therefore encourage each other with these words.

Altar Call
Loosely based on Romans 10..."confess with your mouth"

The Five "SOLA's"...
Are all Scriptural.
The Five Solas are:
1. Sola Scriptura (“Scripture alone”): The Bible alone is our highest authority.
2. Sola Fide (“faith alone”): We are saved through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
3. Sola Gratia (“grace alone”): We are saved by the grace of God alone.
4. Solus Christus (“Christ alone”): Jesus Christ alone is our Lord, Savior, and King.
5. Soli Deo Gloria (“to the glory of God alone”): We live for the glory of God alone.
