In the Day of the "rapture", do you agree that the saved shall ascend unto the Lord immediately, while at the same time, the unsaved will be burnt to a crisp?

Do I agree with what you say? No.

Do I agree with the ORDER and WHAT applies TO WHOM and WHEN...that Scripture reveals? Yes.

Glory to God,

Why? Mainly because there are those who sincerely believe that the Lord is going to return secretly to "catch up the church" , while those who were not ready, will have to go through a 7 year Tribulation. During that time, they believe people still can be saved. It's called The Pre-Tribulation Rapture theory.
My question to you was for to know whether or not you believe that way.

Again, my question:
In the Day of the "rapture", do you agree that the saved shall ascend unto the Lord immediately, while at the same time, the unsaved will be burnt to a crisp?

Still dodging and weaving!
Could you please answer my question directly.
If not, then I shall assume you to be of the mind of a "Pre-Tribulation Rapture" theorist, which holds to a "secret rapture" of the church.

So? I didn't say that was MY BELIEF...and Don't CARE IF it is "other" unnamed persons belief.

while those who were not ready, will have to go through a 7 year Tribulation.

I do BELIEVE, men NOT PREPARED,( NOT IN CHRIST ) ...WILL BE subject to the...
WRATH OF THE LAMB.

And NO, I do not BELIEVE, the WRATH OF THE LAMB ... WILL LAST SEVEN YEARS!

During that time, they believe people still can be saved.

During the Wrath of the Lamb...(SEALS)
...(A PORTION of the SEVEN YEARS)
...Some Souls WILL BE SAVED, and their Bodies KILLED.

THE SEALS...ARE SEVEN SEALS, and ALL SEVEN SEALS are OPENED IN SUCCESSION,
BY THE LAMB OF GOD.

During the Woes ...(TRUMPETS)
...(A PORTION of the SEVEN YEARS)
...The LAST REVELATION OF CHRIST THE Lord IS Preached to ALL "left" remaining ON EARTH.
...A Remnant SHALL BE PRESERVED...
...HAVING "HEARD" the Gospel of Christ Jesus
...Being neither KILLED, nor MARKED with
...Number or Name of the BEAST, nor SEALED ...with Gods Seal.
....'THEY' shall remain MORTALLY alive, WITH
....THE Gospel of Jesus Christ IN their ears.

THE TRUMPETS...ARE SEVEN TRUMPETS, the TRUMPETS that are Sounded BY Angels, ON COMMAND. Their Commands to sound the Trumpts are at INTERVALS. "During" a Portion of the SEVEN YEARS.

THE SEVENTH TRUMPET...the LAST TRUMP is RESERVED to be SOUNDED....
UNTIL AFTER Gods WRATH
And Gods INDIGNATION is POURED (VIALS)
(During a Portion of the Seven Years)
Poured OUT UPON ALL REMAINING WHO HAVE TAKEN THE MARK OF THE BEAST.

1 Cor 15
[52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

It's called The Pre-Tribulation Rapture theory.

So? People who do not BELIEVE, the Lord REDEEMS those IN Christ...BEFORE the Lamb of God unleashes HIS WRATH upon the World, and have made up their OWN "THEORIES" and prance around PREACHING those are "OTHERS" Beliefs...pfft!

GOOD GRIEF man....Crap other people make up...and say IS another's BELIEF....BE THAT YOU, as you have done toward me...or anyone else...is what it is...FALSE ACCUSATIONS....

It has no consequence to me.
I Believe the Lords Truth and all that matters is He knows my truth.

My question to you was for to know whether or not you believe that way.

No, I do not Believe in a Pre-Tribulation "THEORY".

I have been EXPRESSLY CLEAR. I Believe in a Pre-Tribulation of the Lord Gathering His Church UP to Him, IN the Clouds.

Again, my question:
In the Day of the "rapture", do you agree that the saved [IN CHRIST]shall ascend unto the Lord immediately,

YES.

while at the same time, the unsaved will be burnt to a crisp?

NO.

When you FAIL to Consider ALL the Truths revealed; and take the easy "shortcuts"; you are left WITHOUT the knowledge of the WHOLE TRUTH.

IF you are not prepared IN Christ and it be your desire to be subject TO...
The Wrath of the Lamb of God
The Woes
The Wrath of God
The Indignation of God.....

So be it....God IS JUST....God OFFERS and we all get what we choose to ACCEPT.

LOL...still...what a pesky gnat.

You are on ONE of my Lists, but it is not a PRORITY LIST!

Could you please answer my question directly.

I have answered all your silly questions.

If not, then I shall assume you to be of the mind of a "Pre-Tribulation Rapture" theorist, which holds to a "secret rapture" of the church.

LOL...YOUR PRESUMPTIONS, do not by any stretch of the means, by default Become my Belief!

And get a q-tip....How many times do you have to be told...."a secret rapture" is not my teaching or belief....sheesh!!

Did the unsaved who were not raptured, see Jesus' return?
If not why not?
.
If the unsaved who were left behind, and did see Jesus, how do they remain alive, as you say?
Didn't Jesus return in all his glory, in flaming fire??
How then are they still alive???

Some Subject to WRATH of God.

So then, the Glorious return of the Lord, in eternal flaming fire, will not kill and burn up the unsaved who were left behind?

What do you do with 1 Thes. 1:7-10?
Ignore it?
Change it to fit your beliefs?
Fabricate doctrines to avoid it?
[7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, WHEN the Lord Jesus shall be REVEALED from heaven with his mighty angels,
[8] In FLAMING FIRE, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[9] Who shall be punished with everlasting DESTRUCTION from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
[10] WHEN he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Is the Lord lying about what immediately takes place upon His return, or are you?
.
When I say 'immediately", I am meaning at the same time, of when the saints are raptured, all the unsaved will be burned up by "unquenchable fire".
(Only God's eternal fire is unquenchable, aka an all consuming fire.)

Why? Do they have an immediate appointed with the Lord?
.

That is not what I said.

Didn't Jesus return in all his glory, in flaming fire??

Jesus came as the Son of man, Left as the Son of man, Returns as the Son of man.

How then are "they" still alive???

Look, Division has been occuring since the beginning of Gods Creation. Every man during his own generation has OPPORTUNITY to STAND WITH or STAND AGAINST God.

And IN THE DAYS the Lord has APPOINTED AS the LAST DAYS to accomplish DIVISION "AND" SEPARATION requires one TO follow the ORDER and APPLY to himself, that WHICH DOES APPLY to him, ACCORDING TO GODS Separation, as revealed in Scripture.

Dude, I do not make your decisions FOR YOU, nor am I obligated to LEARN SCRIPTURE "FOR YOU" because "you" "wonder" WHAT APPLIES to WHO at any given point in whoever's physical life.

My advice would be....Decide your own standing....READ, LEARN, STUDY, what will be the outcome of YOUR Decision....If you are content with the outcome....Make your own Commitment, and TRUST the outcome that THEN Applies to you, SHALL come into Fruition.

(And Stop telling everyone you know them, and speaking as if you are the authority to declare an others beliefs).

You missed on my last post, or is it you just cannot understand the scripture I quoted!
Let's try it again concerning 1 Thes. 1:7-10.

When you say "upon the earth", it is YOU turning the TRUTH IN SCRIPTURE "INTO A LIE".

NOTHING! It has No Application to me.

Wake up, and stop your dodging and weaving!

Where are the unsaved, during the rapture of the Saints, when Jesus is revealed from Heaven,[8] In FLAMING FIRE, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ?
Ans. Upon the earth!

> incorrect!! You refuse to hear what I have said about the Lord's returnbeing one of salvation and destruction, simultaneously IN ONE DAY!!

The Lord's REVEALING "IS NOT"
the Lord's RETURN!

EVERY eye WILL SEE Him Revealed "IN" THE CLOUDS.

salvation and destruction, simultaneously IN ONE DAY!!

So, when Jesus is revealed in the clouds, after not seeing Him for 2000 years, that's not the rapture of the church? Isn't that WHERE we shall rise to meet Him? Is that not when He is revealed in flaming fire, and EVERY eye (the saved and the unsaved) shall see Him?

Earburner's reply:

> OK, so He is "revealed in the clouds",
Would that be literal atmospheric clouds, or clouds of angels?

> OK, then what?
Does He hang there for 1hr, 3 days or a full week?
Or could it be that suddenly He appears in flaming fire, while descending with a shout, and we are trannsformed, raptured in the twinkling of an eye.

> How many times can you split a hair, or nit-pic at the words of His description?

2 Thes. 1[7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,...

> OK, so what's happening when He is revealed (verse 7)?
....[8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

1 Thes. 4[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1 Peter 4[13] rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

1 Cor. 15[51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
[52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

> It is readily apparent to me, that the event of the Lord being revealed, IS the Lord's coming, whereby the saints are caught up, and his vengeance is enacted upon the unsaved, all at the same time.

I still wish (after asking probably at least 50 times on different forums) that someone, somewhere could tell me what a Christian has to do to "get ready?" All I ever hear as an answer is some silliness about "watching", and they can't even express how that would be done.
Every person who I'd " born again of His Holy Spirit", IS READY!!
Rom. 8;9 "Whosoever HATH NOT the Spirit of God/Christ, is NONE of His!
So, if you do have His Holy Spirit, then you ARE ONE of His, and therefore are " made to be ready", "SEALED (preserved, saved) unto the Day of redemption" .
2Cor.1
  1. [22] Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
Eph.1
  1. [13] 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,
Eph.4
  1. [30] And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
