Partial rapturism can lead easily to self-justification by works, because it in effect says the efficacy of the work of Christ is supposedly not enough...

@Mantis As well as asking the question 'What' is the rapture? and 'When' is it? there is also another question: 'Who' is the rapture for? If this is remembered (and there are lots of words out there focusing exclusively on the 'What?' and 'When'? aspects), then the relevance of 1 Corinthians...

@soul man Seems to link in with the theme of fruit-bearing in John 15 also...

I think the last quote is talking about the Rapture; while the Matthew quote seems from the context to be about Tribulation saints.

Hi @Miz KJV Only I had not linked those Malachi and Luke 10 quotes; but they do link well! Thank-you... :)

Great picture there with a great quote... Change of avatar photo also...? :)

@VictoryinJesus Hoping you will be well soon....

@Abigail You're indeed right that before the machine ever pumps into the skin, the person needs to be "ready". Being "ready" is all about individual responsibility. What is perhaps significant is that for those who reach the age of 18, the weeks and months and years subsequent to the big 18...

@Mantis I love 1 John 2.1: "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous".

Well, the enemy will have no power over the Resurrection and its consequences....

@Mantis So much in Revelation.....

@Mantis I love the verse near the end of Revelation 22: 'Even so, come, Lord Jesus'.... (verse 20).

Okay; the only one so far, then.

@Pearl Acts 2.42 and the activities in which the early believers continued steadfastly can be a good guide....

@Pearl Romans 8 indeed reminds us that all true believers in the Lord Jesus are indwelt by the Holy Spirit: "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." (Romans 8.9).

@WalterandDebbie I thought the pier photo was good also; kind of symbolic of people going really nowhere.......
