The doctrine of the 'rapture' or when Christ comes back just for the church (the body of Christ) that was redeemed and purchased by the blood of Christ, was created in 1827? You are saying that before that time there was nothing taught by the early church (not referring to the earliest and firstborn church recorded in the scriptures but the one that proceeded ) nor indicated in the scriptures that Christ was coming back for His church before the Great Tribulation. Right? Was this doctrine created from the same scriptures that we have today? I think so! Did the early church, after John's death, have the same scriptures to go by? I think they did, but it was not complete. How about that, we all have the same scriptures. Now that's amazing.
Think of it! I can study the same scriptures that the early church had, but only better because now they are complete. I can literally have better understanding without prejudice. We have the same original language and many Greek and Hebrew scholars to help us understand what was written under inspiration and we have the same Holy Spirit to boot! I have a better opportunity to understand what was written for the church, then they did and you know it, Oh boastful one!. They certainly did not have any more of the Holy Spirit than we do? I can approach the word of God without any presuppositions and have confidence in God that His Holy Spirit, though the written word, is going to guide me into the truth so that I can know and receive the things that are freely given to me and to every member of Christ's body, and that is a promise from God and He does not lie. God is no respecter of persons. I don't need 1827 or 1611 or the early church to know what the scriptures have recorded, although I am thankful for their contributions that have been helpful.
My understanding of the church and its mysteries, has nothing to do with any early church teaching or persons from that time frame and it doesn't have to either. God bless them because they are in heaven but they had nothing to do with God's inspiration. Did you get that? I really hope you did. You and so many are obstinate in your heart because you refuse anything that has to do with God doing certain things in a certain way with a certain group of people. That's what dispensation truth in the plan of God is all about. You judge God's sovereignty with your own understanding and you limit the will of God, His right and ability to do things as he sees fit and mar His perfect justice.
