Hi, I'm new to this site!
Howdy!
I am an ordained minister, I've been so since1985.
No disrespect intended but what exactly does that mean?
I do definately believe that there will be a rapture!
And little children believe in Santa, the Easter bunny, and the Great Pumpkin.
There actually already has been one. When Jesus was resurected, the Word of God tells us that, the graves where opened and the Old Testament Saints got up and walked around. If these were only spirits, as some people believed, why where the graves opened? Interesting huh?
Matthew 27:50-53.Certainly you don't believe that this is representative of a "secret rapture" where Christ comes "secretly" and takes away the "church" before hard times hit do you?
The Word also refers to us having to be taken away so that the Anti-Christ can have reign!
And yet, nary one scriptural reference offered as proof text. Now that's interesting! 2 Thessalonians 2:7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.The "spirit" of anti-christ was already at work in Paul's day, "only He who now letteth...." refers to God the Father allowing the work of the "anti-christ" spirit to fester "until he be taken out of the way."So it is the "mystery of lawlessness" that must be taken out of the way, not Christians.God always saves through tribulation, not from it.
If we were not removed we would have power over him!
In the state you're in now you have no power in you outside of the Power of Jesus Christ. You can do nothing apart from Him.
So he would not be able to do all that he needs to do!Bro.Jody
