Author	Thread: The Rapture of the Church
Streetevangelist520^ View Profile History	The Rapture of the Church Posted : 24 Jul, 2023 04:58 PM The Scriptures i'm going to use for this topic are 1 Thess 4:13-18; 1 Cor 15; 2 Cor 5:1-8 and Rev 3:7-13. How does the Rapture of the Church apply to today? Because the signs of the times are all pointing to the Pre-Trib Rapture as indicated in Scripture. This should motivate all of us as Born-Again Christians to live holy lives before Jesus and others in our words and actions everyday and motivate us to be winning souls to Christ and discipling them with the natural and spiritual giftings to reach others for Him. Let us wake up as the western church and repent of our compromise and false doctrine in the church and return to the Scriptures. We need revival fast!!! Post Reply

Moonlight7 View Profile History	The Rapture of the Church Posted : 25 Jul, 2023 11:37 AM What do you think about this Article ???? ---------------------------------------------- What happens to those who are “left behind”? May 19, 2020 After the Rapture will those left behind understand what happened and why? The Bible doesn't say specifically what the world will think in response to the Rapture of the Church, but we know it will not produce widespread belief in the word of God. On the contrary, the supernatural judgments of God that take place during the end times only produce greater rebellion: REV. 9:20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; REV. 9:21 and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts. If these judgments do not persuade hearts, then the disappearance of the Church will certainly not have much effect either. Furthermore, the apostasy of the last days foretold in the letter to Laodicea means that relatively few people will be taken away in the Rapture, and therefore the large number of people who will be left behind in the Church will likely convince many that the disappearances are not the Rapture but something else. On the other hand, the Spirit of God will return to the earth following the Rapture, according to Revelation 7, and He will bring faith to a new generation of believers on earth in the final years prior to Jesus' return. Obviously, these new believers will have missed the Rapture, but the Bible testifies that their new faith in Jesus is not the product of the Rapture experience but of the work of the Holy Spirit in their heart, which is how all believers come to faith.

Moonlight7 View Profile History	The Rapture of the Church Posted : 27 Jul, 2023 04:11 AM It's important what God thinks of Us. Not how people think of us. Teaching All Truth always is more important. Some label themselves Christians but don't believe All Biblical truths. Post Reply
