  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

How many Christians believe in the rapture? Is it a common belief?

I will says that there is not Greek word for the word , RAPTURE in the bible .

Christ is COMING // PAROUSIA of out Lord , 2 Thess 2:1

In 2 Thess 2:3 EXCEPT the DEPARTURE should come FIRST // PROTOS , then the Man of Sin should be REVEALED , the SON

of DESTRUCTION , or Perdition , that means it PRE - TRI all the way .

There are many other words for CHRIST'S COMING , 1 Thess 4:17 , CAUGHT AWAY // HARPAZO .

Also in Gal 1:4 , is the word RESCUE // EXAIREO and is in the Subjunctive Mood .

Only those believeing what Paul , DISPENSATIONALISM are Pre - Tri , Pre- MILLENNIAL .

Christ will return and get us...we will meet up with Him..

That's not a rapture that's Christs return.

Since he did not use any scripture for his claim, he won't be a dispy.

That is my point.

Guojing,
You still haven't said what your position is. Dispensationalists jump around the Bible like a flea jumping around on a newspaper, grabbing a few words here and a few words there and jumbling it all up. You obviously don't know who Hal Lindsay is. You can read him if you want, I'm not going to waste my time defending him.

I believe in pre-trib rapture.
