    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    No, Rev. 7:14 says they have been washed by His blood. ? Martrys throughout history have gone directly to be with the Lord at the moment of their death. REV. 7:9 are not an instanteous multitude who are killed simultaneously, this is the Raptured Church. We are not conquered at any time by...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    WPM is a non-Trinitarian/ Amillennialist ... should have informed you way back. There is no harmonious resolve with this camp - which is why I ignor them.

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    A popular view of modern Evangelical Christians is Daniel's 70th week, hence the Gap theory, the 7 year Tribulation (which I disagree with, because it states 42 months or 1260-1335 days in various places); that THE Church isn't mentioned after Rev. 4 - beg to differ. The multitude that no one...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    My father was a gentleman, patient, with self control, didn't say a bad about anyone and actually unknowingly applied Biblical principles. That proves God works in our lives, protects us and guides us before He draws us. It may take a lifetime, as it did with my parents to believe in Christ...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    Some have great faith and some have weak faith. We are instructed to come alongside and encourage those who have weak faith and/or maybe have backslid - lost their way. Devastating events happen to test our faith: illness, death of a loved one, loss of job, etc. So at times our faith wavers...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    That's the whole gospel message ... hundreds of scriptures too numerous to mention. How it happens for each individual is uniquely orchestrated by God. He draws the individual to Himself through a series of events, uses witnesses, ministers, over time, planting seeds ... Faith comes by the Word...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    I adhere to OSAS. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit and therefore cannot lose our salvation; nor would we choose the mark of the Beast - only reprobates do. In Matthew 25:44-46, Jesus is speaking to Jews who during their lives rejected him and Chrìstians. They did not love Christians. Jesus said...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    Jesus hints at how to recognize believers: "By their fruit, you will know them". The fruit of the Spirit is kindness, goodness, joy, love, peace, patience, self control, gentleness, faith. Also, not just our actions but our words testify and confirm that Jesus is Lord. A non-believer cannot...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    I agree with all the scriptures - just put them in a different time frame. You see them and read literally - me too. But then you take Rev. 20:1-10 an something in your brain switches to some spiritualized symbolic program. What happened to reading it literally? Anyways, I don't care to argue...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    You're a post tribber ....okay. I was a Mid-Trib/ pre-wrath adherent for a long time ( believing that the 7th trumpet was the last) and so obviously stuff happens before and after . Lately, I've been leaning towards a pre-trib view and so answered the question, If the Rapture happens before the...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    All those who truly believe in Jesus and baptized by the Holy Spirit ( born again). I'd like to think all 2.7 billion will go but there is evidence of many left behind. A relationship with Jesus means you are doing/practicing what He commands: Love God, love your neighbor- not always easy to do...

    President Trump is fasting

    Impeach, send him to jail ... a seething rant that we hear from the Left. Do you realize what the Left's globalist agenda is? You reference a bleeding heart liberal who sees the world through a difference lense. On the Right, we call your perspective an "upside down universe", where evil is...

    President Trump is fasting

    Communism has consequences. People will always suffer under it's regime. It is sad. The old saying goes, "We are damned if we try to do something to help and damned we don't". But listen, many countries are suffering, starving, collapsing. People are getting their heads chopped off too. Try...

    President Trump is fasting

    If he said those words, it's just another rhetorical boastful comment meaning we are in charge, they have no power, ability to create any major disruptions from now on in the Strait of Hormuz. But it's just not over with them. By themselves, they are defeated. But if Russia, China, Pakistan...

    You are so critical of Trump and the USA. How about your country and Prime minister's weakness? Here's an article about Canada: From Bad to Worse – Socialist Project From Bad to Worse – Socialist Project

    President Trump is fasting

    He did not say those words, just claimed they cleared the mines, stopped Iran's shipments and looks like traffic will soon get back to normal - it's safe now.

    President Trump is fasting

    You are believing Left-wing media lies. False. Zero? A ridiculous claim. We didn't have much debt at all in the late 90's, tye budge was near balanced (at least one credit to Bill Clinton). Then 9/11, Iraq and Afganistan wars, 2008/ recession market crash with bailouts. Actually when Obama...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    A lazy man is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can answer sensibly..Prov. 16:16amq The majority wouldn't work in Iran, but in Christianity, the doctrine ofnthe Trinity is held by 97%. A doctrine so important, logic would dictate that is we are in fact led by the Holy Spirit, He would...

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    Yes, but for Christians, you are judged for good works and receive rewards based in your contribution. But it is not tied to your salvation. Billy Graham certainly received more rewards than most of us will. My Pastor will.

    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    Check. I think Satan tries to keep people away from Christ and has devised all these false religions to do so. Pick anyone and he's satisfied. But once you began believing the Bible and in Christ what else can he do but get you to believe Jesus is not God, but a created being or an angel which...
