    When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

    The Thessalonians passage, in context, speaks of the wrath that will be poured out on the unsaved on the Day of the Lord. This verse doesn't say anything about Christians being removed from the earth. 1 Thessalonians 5 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to...

    A Systematic Study of the Rapture through the use of Bible Scriptures

    Nothing in the text states that any of these events take place prior to the tribulation. Again, where does it actually say that the church will be raptured prior to the tribulation? Then, there are a few other gaping holes in the doctrine that you may want to address. 1 Thessalonians 4:13:17...

    A Systematic Study of the Rapture through the use of Bible Scriptures

    All we're asking for is where the Bible says that the church will be raptured prior to the tribulation. We ask this question every time this subject comes up and no one ever seems to have an answer.

    Is the 'Be Ready' idea from tongue speakers the same as Christ's?

    No, it doesn't. The OP is about having discerning whether one who is speaking in tongues is truly speaking by the Holy Spirit, using the pretubulation rapture as one example. Nowhere in his post did he imply that all charasmatics are pretribbers.

    Is the 'Be Ready' idea from tongue speakers the same as Christ's?

    It doesn't. Matthew 24:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and...

    Is the 'Be Ready' idea from tongue speakers the same as Christ's?

    People have been coming on this forum for a long time trying to peddle this doctrine, and when we ask them to provide scriptural evidence to support it, they either can't or won't, and you don't seem to be any different. That's why you get the responses that you do. Again, I ask: Where in the...

    Matthew 24:29-31 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the...

    A Systematic Study of the Rapture through the use of Bible Scriptures

    It depends on what you're calling "the rapture". Matthew 24:29-31 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will...

    What Should A Person Do If They Miss The Rapture ?

    The day will overtake us? 1 Thessalonians 5:4 says otherwise. 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare This is supposed to happen before...

    First the Rapture and then the Great Tribulations

    1 Thessalonians 5:1-4 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as...

    Assurance of salvation

    Matthew 7:21-29 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name...

    New Views on the Rapture

    Isaiah 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." In other words, God doesn't have to conform to man's sense of justice...

    New Views on the Rapture

    Those, including myself, who make the claim that the pretribulation rapture doctrine lacks scriptural basis, say this because while scripture may be used to defend it, scripture itself doesn't teach it. On the surface, it doesn't seem like a major, but from that author's extensive "research"...

    Perry Stone Talks Rapture

    I guess I'll never understand why so many people interpret scripture through doctrines that aren't clearly stated in the Bible. The previous chapter clearly states that the coming of the Son of Man occurs after the tribulation. There's no fancy interpretation there. Those are the actual words...

    The parable deals with preparedness in the end times. It's quite relevant to the subject. Be prepared to stay.

    Perry Stone Talks Rapture

    Were the times "ordinary" for Noah? Were they "ordinary" for Lot? Have you ever been somewhere right before a major hurricane was set to hit? Not normal times. Noah knew that it would be raining for 40 days and 40 nights because God told him ahead of time. Times were normal for the ones who...

    Perry Stone Talks Rapture

    Not one of those passages says anything about a rapture taking place before the tribulation.
