Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?
Is it all of Christ bride....just the worthy of Christ bride....just those that are looking for Jesus coming?
Currently I'm of the opinion all christians are raptured.
Thoughts?????
What pre-tribulation rapture?
Of course ALL Christians shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air (raptured) when Christ comes again. There is however an order, first those who died in faith are raised up from the graves, then all who are still alive at Christ's coming again shall be raised up with them.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 (KJV) But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if
we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that
we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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: 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.
There is no indication the rapture shall keep faithful saints from suffering great tribulation in this life. The Bible is replete with verses telling us there shall be tribulation as we proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom of God through Christ. In fact, we read that it is through much tribulation/affliction believers shall endure entering the Kingdom of God.
Acts 14:22 (KJV) Confirming the souls of the disciples,
and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that
we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
