    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Ephesians 5 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might [a]sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing...

    Exactly true https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%202&version=NKJV And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the [a]course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    A powerful anchor in Luke 17 and Matthew 13 using the parallels of Noah and Lot completely reframes how the "gathering" is viewed in modern pop-theology: The Days of Noah and Lot: In both cases, the ungodly world continued its normal routines—eating, drinking, building, and buying—right up...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Jesus proves there is no pre-trib gathering and even a mid trib gathering. As He says the church will desire to see Him come and they will not see it. Then Jesus says there will be false christs, false prophets, deceiving many people, how do you know you are not one of them! When Jesus gathers...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Rapture is very commonly thought of as the gathering of the church when Christ comes for them with His angels Your not very consistent. When you add in all these other people caught up to heaven this is not the rapture. The 'rapture' is when Christ comes for His church, as in gathers them...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    That word the 'rapture' does not exist in scripture, it is a theme word. Since you wont read it in scripture, people apply that word to many things that occur. You identify 5, but why not call for 6 or 7, perhaps 8, since your definition is so broad. Genesis 5 22 After he begot Methuselah...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Do you understand this is not the apostolic historical understanding of the church? This is a modern teaching of the last days, and Christ, Paul, Peter warned us to be watchful in all things as pertaining to doctrine. 2 Timothy 4 I charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ...

    Isaiah 65 15 For behold, the Lord will come with fire And with His chariots, like a whirlwind, To render His anger with fury, And His rebuke with flames of fire. 16 For by fire and by His sword The Lord will judge all flesh; And the slain of the Lord shall be many. This is the glorious bodily...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Angle are sent on a mission by Christ, they are angels under authority. Angels gather both the wicked and the just. That Matthew 24 is the same gathering event as Mark 13 and as you see, all His people in heaven and on earth are gathered to Him, on that Last Day, angels here are gathering the...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    There is no other rapture taught by Christ, except for the one that occurs on His glorious return a second time. And right before that is a time of great deception and delusion , brought onto the world by Satan and his man of sin, who perform lying wonders, false miracles and signs to turn...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    If every man is the 'man of sin' then why did Paul write like he did? Cause every man before they are saved is a slave of sin and following Satan as sons of disobedience, that was well taught to the early church. Ephesians 2 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    People hold tightly to mistaken ideas, Paul calls them strongholds and they will be torn down People hold onto traditional frameworks and systems so tightly that even when the plain text of Scripture points straight past their assumptions, breaking through those barriers takes time. As Paul...

    Colossians 3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    And what does Paul teach about when our earthly tent is destroyed, and a heavenly body, but that is not that glorified body where Paul says we shall bear the image of the heavenly man? Paul talks about the "earthly tent" in 2 Corinthians 5:1–4, people trying to push a pre-resurrection body...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    That is Not the resurrection of the Last Day Trying to play the classic semantic card: taking the phrase “reserved in heaven for you” from 1 Peter 1:4 and twisting it to mean that our resurrected bodies are currently sitting up in a celestial closet waiting to be put on, or that the...
