For people living on earth right now, there's only one Name given under Heaven whereby man can be saved.

Specifically, what Name does one need to call upon to obtain salvation?

For people living on earth right now, there's only one Name given under Heaven whereby man can be saved.

Specifically, what Name does one need to call upon to obtain salvation?
In English speaking New Testament only the name is Jesus which is a transliteration of several steps and leads to Yeshua which means Yah's salvation. Reference Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

and Isa 49:23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

Gen 49:18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.


Isa 55:5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
Isa 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isa 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.

Joh 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.


Joh 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Joh 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

I believe that the Son is my Saviour. But I have not seen Him YET, but believe that every eye will see Him when He returns. I believe the Messiah Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour.

So when He comes and every eye shall see Him, this is the moment of SALVATION and call upon His name?


John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
 
So when He comes and every eye shall see Him, this is the moment of SALVATION and call upon His name?

If they have no already obtained salvation before He returns to earth, it''ll be too late for them

2 Thessalonians 1:7,8 - And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ

Romans 12:19 - Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

2 Thessalonians 2:10 - And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

We came from God, we were sent to walk this earth as prodigal son and daughters. We have clothed our selves with sin. Lets shed these earthly clothes(sin) and remember who we are and where we come from. God sent us here to experience earthly desires. He wants us to choose him , a people that choose to worship and praise him willingly(not like satan who was not loyal) Take off earthly clothes put on the garment of praise, put on YESHUA, put on our armor takeup your daily cross and follow and choose to obey. There is a wedding we are all invited to. What are you going to wear? We are going to be different people when we return home. He created us. Now we are going to return as loyal children of the Most High God. Time to represent the throne. In our formal garment. He gave us a choice and we has been temped and we have been on trial. Now let' us go home with holy pose and as royal children to a royal wedding. Who or what are we going to transform on transformation mountain?
 
Lets shed these earthly clothes(sin) and remember who we are and where we come from.

I already did, long ago. I got born again and filled with the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:22-24
put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Romans 13:14
put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Colossians 3:10
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created Him:

2 Corinthians 6:17
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

Those that have not already obtained salvation before He returns to earth, it''ll be too late for them

What are you going to wear?

The righteousness of the Lord that He gave me to walk in. You?

Now we are going to return as loyal children of the Most High God.

I'm already a loyal child of the Most High God. You aren't?
 
We left God as his children, walked this earth as prodigals away from our FATHER. Lets walk home and take communion often. If done wrong it....1 Cor. 11:24-32. Communion heals spiritually and God also takes care of the our bodies. (Matt 6:25-33.) Lets us think everything spiritual not freshly or carnaly minded. Remember his body the bread(Isaiah53:5 wounded, stripes and we are healed) his blood and water flowed. Blood=healing water=baptism, healing, and cleansing (he poured the oil and wine) drink water not wine during communion, it turns into wine. ( The Jewish traditional do not drink alcohol on holy days) John 2:1-11 "A" Mary spoke up, and Jesus put water in earthen vessles(clay pots 2 Tim 2:20,21) and turned the water into wine. Drink water (physically) during communion, and it turns into wine spiritually which is the new covenant. The promise. As his servants we are being transformed, walking through the valley towards home, and being sanctified. (1Thess. 5:23) Spiritualy the wine represents the fruit of the spirit, (Gal. 5:22) the fruit is the mind of Christ, and we have the mind of Christ, (1Cor 2:16). When Jesus spoke his John 17 prayer to God, he gave to him the work he had done. Then he die and rose again and is at home being a royal priest praying for all of us. It's time to shed the temporal things (sin) of this world (2Cor 4:18) and think of things not seen which are eternal. Lay up treasures in heaven (Matt 6:19) and think on things above (Col 3:2) Let us put on our wedding clothes and be transformed and renew our minds (Rom12:2). We are invited to the wedding I also want to obey GOD our FATHER to take up my cross, and follow the path back home.(Matt6:24) Someone posted that king brings wine to a wedding. The wine is you and me, giving each other as offerings to God. This is the walk of taking communion. Breathe this out and say Ehyeh hu (I AM he) we are not Christ but we need to do as he did and put him on us his clothes and armor everyday. Being transformed back into who we really are, and then being rewarded for our work... I can not wait to be high and lifted up, like Jesus and reflect back the glory of GOD that he shines on us. With the power of TRINITY in us. Pure, and in one accord, and with the power of our praise and worship to the one and only true God. The MOST HIGH GOD the GOD of gods (us) reflecting his glory back to him, seeing and witnessing OUR FATHER OUR GOD be lifted up by the reflection of his power back to him and become mighter, and more powerful and stronger. Above all gods.
 
I was doing that back when you were still in spiritual diapers



Don't tell the reformers. They think God selected them and they can live in sin and still never be disinherited

But then again these are the people that used to have people murdered if they did not agree with their false reformed doctrine, just like the catholics they claimed to have broken away from.

They still cannot show in scripture where Jesus said "if they don't believe your words, have them murdered"

"I was doing that back when you were still in spiritual diapers"
You mocked Gods word.
Was that when you started?
When you were in dirty diapers?
 
Lol.
yep.

Jesus said to "pray that you may be counted worthy to escape the things about to come upon the world and stand before the son of man."

Tell him you take him seriously.
Amen.
Jesus said to pray it.
Not mock it.

What a dilemma for those that hate even the idea of the pretrib rapture Jesus said to pray for.

Interesting.
 
I know that there are some who believe that 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (Rapture) and 2 Thessalonians 2:2-8 (removal of the Holy Ghost) are separate occurrences. So, do they happen at the same time or separate? And does this happen pretrib? Please provide supporting scripture with your response.
 
You mocked Gods word.

No, I mocked the reformed theology false doctrine the devil tricked so many in to following.
Try to keep up man!

The catholics and the reformers both engaged in murdering people who did not accept their fake gospel.
Not sure why anyone would want to get their doctrine from murderers, but whatever.

They follow the religious traditions of men, not the Word of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 10:17 - But "he who glories, let him glory in the Lord." 18 For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

Galatians 6:14 - But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. ✝️

Something is removed.
Then the ac is revealed.

What is removed?
 
The rapture does not happen until after the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition (the anti-christ)

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition
Amen.
The ac is revealed and then the pretrib rapture.
He gets revealed, not yet in power, and then the pretrib rapture.
Maybe a day after he is revealed?
A week?
A month?

It is, none the less, a pretrib rapture.

Well Jr, I gotta saved in 1976.
Was into Gods word right away.

My job here is to make you and every postribber go against the bible, and expose your many changes to the book of rev, and Matthew ch 24 and ch 25.

Which is really easy.

There is a nice parallel between postribbers and the catholics.

Most postribbers hate the pretrib rapture doctrine and us that defend it.
 
That's a possibility

I think after dinner this evening I'm going to get up on my roof and have Rapture Practice!

Mocking reply to God's word;
"... pray that you may be counted worthy to escape the things about to come up on the Earth, and stand before the son of man"

( JESUS WORDS)
I know, I know, you would never pray that.
Just mock it.
 
He gets revealed, not yet in power, and then the pretrib rapture.

Technically it's not pre-trib since the anti-christ being revealed to the world is the start of the great tribulation.

The first part of the festivities are not all bad as this is the time the anti-christ spending convincing the world he's the answer to all the world's problems and the catholics pope will be working long side the anti-christ as the false prophet telling every this man is of God and that God sent this man to save the world.

In the beginning If the anti-christ was openly evil as he becomes later, then it would cause many to not follow him so early on he will spend time deceiving everyone that he's a good guy. Sadly a lot of Christians will follow him and end up taking the mark and go to hell. Really sad situation.

Revealed and then the rapture is indeed pretrib

Noah gets wet and goes in the boat preflood, is of course, preflood.
Jesus taught a pretrib rapture.
