    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    Is Matthew 24:21 a future event or a past event? Matthew 24:15 Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, let the reader understand, then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. If this tribulation...

    Isaiah 9:3 dicussion.

    To concentrate on verses 6 and 7 which are powerful you would lose the following. 1...but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan— 2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light...

    Works and Salvation

    You have an inner theological belief. A system of interpretation based on an idea. That is why you cannot accept the power of the Good News. Faith comes from hearing! Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Without faith you have nothing to work with. A...

    Works and Salvation

    The gospel of Jesus Christ and the gift of the Holy Spirit was unknown to the Gentiles. Romans 11:11 I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? Far from it! But by their wrongdoing salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous. The Gentiles were not chosen before...

    Works and Salvation

    Every time Paul, Peter, and John, preached the gospel there was usually some level of agitation. Sometimes the agitation was brutal and against them. When the gospel is preached it does not return void. Not everyone responds at the same time.

    Is God outside of time?

    The values cannot be infinite because that is a contradiction. Numbers are finite entities not infinite. Let's count together. 1,2,3,4,...,1123, 1124. Wow that took some time. Did we reach an infinite number yet? Can we count forever? We cant count forever because we are temporal...

    Is God outside of time?

    Of course, I can comprehend finite numbers in Mathematics. I used the word 'infinite' to describe that which is beyond human reason. Infinite is an idea and that is all the word really means.

    I don't have to say anything. Peter said they had not repented or received the Holy Spirit. They certainly did not know Jesus or even believed in Jesus. Without the good news you have nothing to work with.

    Talk about splitting hairs, you need a pair of reading glasses. Ephesians 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit. Your other quotation (1...

    I think there is an astronomical difference between the life of Jesus, and the lives of modern Christians. 'nobody's perfect' Most Christians are still at the starting blocks.

    Works and Salvation

    Nothing about the baptism of fire and nothing about the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. I see not gifts of the Holy Spirit, no ministries of the Holy Spirit. Was anyone in verse 37 confessing Jesus? Peter told them to repent because they had not. Peter told them that they would receive the...

    Works and Salvation

    When the apostles on the day of Pentecost received the Holy Spirit. Was there a visible authentication of that reception of the Holy Spirit? Were the apostles sealed in their salvation, confirmed by Jesus on the day of Pentecost?
