of course shroom.
any idea how ticked off i was to attend church for the first time and be asked as a group:
who believes in the RAPTURE raise your hands...and have everyone but me raise their hands....though never having HEARD OF IT TIL THEN, i began to raise my hand but it was held frozen half-way up...i simply was unable to raise my arm.
then any idea how hearetbroken i wasto attend another church for a time, to have them distribute the Purpose Driven Life with oaths to sign? and to be told i was unteachable when i made an appointment to see the pastor to say that this was NOT GOOD for the church?
i held wrong beliefs about buildings with steeples on them for a long long time.
i wrongly believed that i would be fed the word of God no matter where i went if it said CHURCH on the door.
lots of other wrong beliefs too. about people....who said they read the Bible, but i knew they didn't.
and i believed for a time that falling down and crawling on hands and knees and gibbering and claiming God was speaking was somehow within orthodoxy, though somewhat odd.....inexplicable, considering any simple reading of The Book of Acts as an Historical record of the acts the apostles and the foundation of the Church was just easy to see.....but after all, didn't everyone say Jesus Christ was their Lord?
who was i to say any different.
i held wrong beliefs about modern Bible versions, and then the KJV only crowd for a time.
i held wrong beliefs that every Roman Catholic in the world was damned to hell.
for a time i believed everyone who said they were jewish was a Biblical Hebrew.
but when i was a child i spoke as a child.
when i worked hard and went sleepless, and petitioned the Lord for THE TRUTH AT ANY COST TO MYSELF some of those wrong beliefs became clear.
lots of other things i have believed wrongly for a time.
what does that have to do with AMILLENNIALISM?

There are some BAD BAD churches out there. But just because you were humiliated by this one church. does not mean all who believe in premill are in error.
