Hello @ByGrace, 'The Rapture' is a term that I don't like, for it is not a scriptural term, but is used to describe what is prophesied to take place in the future, in 1 Thessalonians 4:- ‘But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, .. concerning them which are asleep, .... that ye...

It felt like it too, @ByGrace. but I am not going anywhere. :) Love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello there one and all, I can't thank you for your responses I'm afraid, but I do praise God for your faith in Christ Jesus, and leave you in His almighty hands. Within the love of Christ our Saviour, Lord and Head. Chris

Thank you, @Harvest 1874, for taking the time to read the Companion Bible index, and for your response. However, I must agree with @DAH on this point. Paul referred to the gospel he preached as, 'my gospel' in Romans 2:16: which he acknowledged as 'the gospel of God', and 'the gospel of...

Hello @Harvest 1874 Re. the gospel of the Kingdom and other gospels, please see the link below. It will take you to the Companion Bible Index, in which there are notes on this subject, which I hope you will take a look at. The Gospel of the Kingdom and Other Gospels - Appendix to the Companion...

'And the brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. They, when they arrived, went into the synagogue of the Jews. And these were more noble than those of Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind and searched the Scriptures daily to see if...

Hello @bbryd009, No, I did not address the points you made, because I am not representative of dispensationalism generally. I can only give you my answer, based on the dispensational approach I have made to Bible study myself, I cannot speak for anyone else. * Your points were, that...

Thank you, @bbyrd009, for voicing particular issues, which you perceive to be related to dispensationalism. You say:- … that doctrines are introduced which suggest that God is a respecter of persons (or generations), which leads to the suggestion of there being 'two gospels', 'the rapture', or...

Hello @Willie T, Thank you for providing the U.tube address in #80, it gives some sound advice that we can each learn from, regarding how we engage with others, and address points upon which we differ. I do not like the blanket approach made by entrants on this thread, in which so much is...

Hello @Oz, Thank you for responding. Would you please be more specific, so that a defensive can be made, for I do not understand what you are referring to? Thank you. In Christ Jesus Our risen and glorified Saviour, Lord and Head. Chris

Yes, I would like to know why you all appear to object to dispensationalism so much. What specifically do you object to?

I can see your point, @Willie T, and can see that a word of explanation is also needed, to confirm the reason for using a quotation. I am not aware of the Baptists you refer to, unfortunately, so cannot respond to that. Thank you, Willie T. In Christ Jesus Chris

I am sorry that this is the experience you have had of those who seek to rightly divide the Word of Truth, it has not been my experience though, @Willie T. It is not good to judge all of a particular persuasion, whatever it may be, on the basis of the few you have heard and disagreed with...

Hi @Willie T Context is vital to the understanding of any Scripture, I agree, and accompanying dialogue in a forum situation is often needed, but sometimes, according to the nature of the discussion, a response in the form of a verse, which to you says all you have and can say, is enough in...

@OzSpen, @DAH, @Harvest 1874, @Naomi25, @Stranger, @Willie T, @mjrhealth, @kit, @Taken Hello there, The hope of the Church of the Mystery is to be manifested with Christ in the glory that belongs in the place where He now sits at the right hand of God, and must not be confused with either the...

That is very clever, @Willie T, and doubtless true, but eloquence is not the object here, is it? but the imparting and reception of truth. In Christ Jesus Chris

Welcome to you, too @DAH, I have read and applauded a recent entry of yours in the thread, 'When is the Holy Spirit received', and look forward to sharing the glorious hope we have in Christ our Head, and all the unique features of our calling, in Him. May God give us all grace to engage with...

Hello @Harvest 1874 Good to have you aboard. I have followed the principle of 2 Timothy 2:15 for many years now, and praise God for it. However I am loath to put myself in a box with a name on it, except of that of CHRIST my Saviour. For with names come categorising and disputation, and party...

Wrong! @bbyrd009, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by this. What has the account in Numbers 21:4-10 got to do with receiving the Holy Spirit? ‘And Jehovah said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole. And it shall be when everyone that is bitten, when he looks upon...

Hello @GodsGrace, 'In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession...
