How can one person believe in the rapture and another not? Isn't the bible clear enough on the topic.
The Bible is a book of Knowledge, not a book of Understanding.
An atheist can read and read and read the Scriptural Knowledge and never Understand what it means.
A believer can read and read and read the Scriptural Knowledge and never Understand what it means.
A believer who has become Converted (ie received the Gifts from God to be Baptized in the Spirit of God)....has whole different OPTION "gifted" (by God) to such person.
And that is asking God Himself, what HE means.
(The Person asking, is just like any person asks for anything)
(The answer from God, comes to the person spiritually).
Many, who are Converted, do not take advantage of their OPTION, and continue to lean on OTHER people's thoughts and opinions, just as people who are not Converted, lean on OTHER people's thoughts and opinions.
Many Christians, are believers, but not Converted.
Many Christians, believe, just as Athiests, both believing...this --->.hey If a person is going to Church, all is good and salvation is secured.
Not so. People are not saved by going to a Church.
Going to a Church is simply one method of
Hearing about God. Early tradition, when few could read, and copies of texts were not widely available.
(And funny today. Many can read. Many Bibles available. Many can afford to buy a Bible. Many own a Bible. Relatively, many do not open the Bible and actually READ it.)
Many are still content to go to Church, sit and have another decide what they want to tell the them.
People become saved by first establishing a relationship with the Lord, and then receiving His blessing and gifts for having established the relationship.
Glory to God,
