This is not the same gospel that Paul taught. The gospel of the kingdom is the good news of the kingdom on earth where Christ is King. Paul's gospel, however, has gone out to all nations.
Romans 16
25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Colossians 1
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
Colossians 1:23, If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Paul's gospel has gone out to all nations, has come unto all the world, and has been preached to every creature under heaven. Has the end come? Not the same good news message.
Two sets of verses in context that teach a split (rapture) please.....
THE dead in CHRIST shall rise
WE which are ALIVE and REMAIN
How do the above to two references leave room for ANY to be left?......The LEFT behind series is bogus.......!
Two in the field and or grinding and one gone and one left does not indicate that both are believers.....

I have told you clearly, if you believe the bride will go through the tribulation go ahead. There's nothing else to discuss. You commonly go back & forth with people constantly who have an opposing view then you. Stating a joke is "mouthy" now lol. Sorry if I have a laid back personality & not displaying contempt for others unlike some people.
Well depending on how one interprets scripture there can be a pre trib rapture such as revelation 3:10 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
This could easily be seen as a pre trib rapture verse if you view the hour of trial as the tribulation but then you can look at the same verse and say no it means he is going to allow us to see and suffer a bit before his wrath falls upon the earth. This view is saying that we will suffer at the hands of the antichrist for a time but then God will take his elect right before his wrath falls upon the world.
You see how two separate views can be taken from one verse? interpretation can vastly change how we see and believe.
