No. The Holy Spirit that is working through the church is taken out of the way when the church is raptured. Suddenly the Holy Spirit has no (or few) believers left through whom He can work.

You missed something very simple; the Bride of Christ will be raptured pretrib. But people who believe as you do will be left behind (because of no faith in His coming pretrib) to be overcome by the Beast. Why not rather CHANGE your faith and believe Luke 21:36? Believe in being found worthy to...

Are you saying the real meaning is, , "when the father tells Me to go, I will then come very swiftly."?

That was before God chose to send Paul to the Gentiles take take out a people from the Gentiles for His name. Imagine the Gentile church of today (until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in) is like a parenthesis inserted into Jewish time. Jesus started a Jewish church - but Israel as a nation...

Maybe I need to ask a more clear question. The bible shows us a coming in Matthew 24, and a coming in Revelation 19. Does prewrath see these two as the same coming?

In prewrath theory, is the coming of Jesus as shown in Revelation 19 the only coming—to include the rapture and Armageddon? Or is the rapture a separate coming?

You used the wrong scriptures. That is NOT how those in Acts 10 knew people were filled. They knew because they heard them speak with tongues. I think you are mixing up the regeneration experience (being born again) with the mighty baptism in the Holy Spirit can comes AFTER someone is born...

This is ONE way that people can make the bible say almost anything. A bigger question: how are those who have died and are in heaven going to get down to join with their just resurrected bodies?

You are talking OLD Testament. We are no longer under that covenant. Did you not read? 1 Corinthians 14:31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. 1 Corinthians 14:29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. New Testament prophecy...

Socrates was right: the ills of the WHOLE WORLD are caused by those who THINK they know, when in fact, they DON'T. Did you not read and understand: 1 Cor. 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks...

It is extremely poor exegesis to imagine Paul's rapture is somehow hidden behind John being caught up. Why not rather believe Paul? He got the revelation of the rapture. He tells us the rapture will come just before Wrath and the Day of the Lord. In Revelation that would be just before the 6th...

It is an absolute MYTH that the rapture is taking place in Rev. 4:1. Any beginning reader would tell us it was JOHN caught up. After all, that is what the text SAYS. What about "after this?" Some people get out the verse stretcher and try and force this phrase to mean "after the church age. How...

Jackson, I don't think Paul would write rapture before wrath and rapture before the Day of the Lord in his first letter, and change that order in his second letter. Some questions you should asked yourself about his second letter chapter 2: Is the man of sin revealed (not in reality but in...

Let's not get into pride here. I wish I knew what he said about the Two witnesses. I hope you know they show up and begin their testimony only days before the midpoint of the week (probably 3.5 days) and most of their testimony is in the last half of the week. What does the WORD say? The DAY...

Why do you disagree with John? He TELLS US that the marriage and supper IS COME. That means right then, at the point in John's narrative. That means BEFORE He comes to Armageddon. (Don't miss that little word "as.")

What does the WORD say about this? Of course you are right that Jesus comes at the rapture. Paul wrote "unto the coming of the lord." Where you miss it is WHEN? Paul tells us when in chapter 5: the rapture will come just before the day of the Lord and the start of God's wrath. It is going to...

Here I can agree with you 100%. Why is it pretribbers lay aside good bible exegesis here and imagine (that is all it is: imagination) that the intent of the Holy Spirit when He had John write this passage was the rapture of the church shrouded with JOHN being caught up. WHEN was John caught up...

That is because it is the only resurrection by title (first, chief, most honorable) for the righteous. There is NOT ONE WORD that hints this resurrection is a one time event. In fact, John hints strongly against your theory: there were thrones and people judging from those thrones. They too were...

Why not try believing Paul? He tells us that the rapture is before wrath and before the DAY of His wrath. Since he is the only writer of the NT that received the revelation of the rapture, he knew what he was writing.

It would be strange writing indeed that we comfort one another that we go through the days of GT, are overcome, and lose our heads. How much more sense it makes that we comfort one another that we ESCAPE the GT and end up in heaven for the marriage and supper.
