Around 911 we are guided : Romans 9:11 and about 10 verses before and after: God created vessels of wrath, destined for destruction - those that will go to hell, and God created vessels of mercy, whom He decided will go to heaven, so that we may know God's righteous and merciful nature...

1 Cor 13

Can a Christian run out of Holy Spirit?

I can not have an insulting discussion.

A Christian in name... Matthew 13 (NKJV) 20But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word...

For sure a Christian can lose his faith, and no longer be a Christian: You are conflating two whole separate issues (pray that you may have strength to go through the tribulation is my interpretation of the one)... The other: The five foolish virgins were not Christians anymore, they lost...

Are you saying the great tribulation is called Jacob's trouble, and Israel is gathered after that into the clouds? Are you saying only Israel / Jacob (with his trouble) goes through the great tribulation?

Like the great tribulation, there will only be / is only one great apostacy, which precedes or accompanies the great tribulation.

Please explain Matthew 24:31 in plain English. Yes, "He" with capital "H". Revelation 14 (NKJV) 16So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

There is no such thing as a non worthy Christian, you are either a Christian or a non-Christian. You either believe Jesus died for your sins or you do not. A Christian can not miss the rapture (regardless of its timing).

It is contrarian for a Christian to miss the rapture (whenever it happens)!

After the tribulation, after the rapture and return of Christ on the clouds: Revelation 14 (NKJV) 16So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

Please explain this verse in plain English to me please: Matthew 24 (NKJV) 31And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [d]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

All I know is that the churchfathers was not part of the great apostacy, that would have come after them...

Fearmongering is not what the Gospel is about. Lies and deception will be used however in the great apostacy. The churchfathers and the church up to 1830 before John Nelson Darby's https://bit.ly/Christianzionism believed in the rapture, but not in a so-called pre-tribulational rapture...
