BAB, you said in your post above "If you are correct and I am wrong, many of us on this forum will be pleasantly surprised that we will be taken out in a pretrib rapture. If that happens, you are welcome to tell me on the way up. "I told you so."
Not so quick, there, BAB, if I, as you put it, am correct, you'll be saved, but lose the reward of the inheritence He wanted you to have. Not the inheritence, but its reward.
Thus, its not about me being right. Its bad enough you hurt yourself through these notions about others, when He would that your strength be made perfect in weakness, but worse than that is the wood, hay, and stubble of your doctrine and its resulting loss on that day.
You're a member of the neither Jew nor Gentile Body of Christ and His intended glory through, not some physical son of Abraham also spiritual, over the Gentile nations as to His intended glory in that nation one day.
Brother Danoh,
Some on this forum have stated those who do not believe in the pretrib version of the rapture will be left behind and have to lose our heads to gain our salvation. They are part of the "Rapture Cult". They are stating some aspects of salvation or rewards are dependent upon belief in the pretrib doctrine.
You are getting very close to that, if you are not already there.
Many talk about our rewards and crowns. I will give my humble opinion. If there is anyone who is wearing a crown when the time comes, it will be taken off and handed to the One who earned it on the cross.
I only want one reward. I want to be in the presence of the One who bought me with His blood.
I am the one who drove the nails into His body. I do not deserve anything but death.
This morning I went to a local High School and later my former Middle School and participated in the national "See You at the Pole" day of prayer. It was my privilege to stand in a circle and hold the hands of young people and adults who were willing to pray on a public school campus. When it was my turn I simply spoke the truth about the Son of God and what He has done for me. I do not expect any reward in return. It is not about anything I have done or anything I could ever do.
It is about what He has done.
