    Does One Receive the Holy Ghost the Moment they Believe in Jesus?

    In other words, you are teaching new believers to IGNORE the instructions in Acts 1.

    Does One Receive the Holy Ghost the Moment they Believe in Jesus?

    This is a good sidestep of human reasoning. The same experience as the OP stated with the 120 in the upper room: they were born again when Jesus breathed on them and said "Receive the Holy Spirit." They received the baptism in the Holy Spirit on Pentecost: as John Wesley used to say, "as a...

    Does One Receive the Holy Ghost the Moment they Believe in Jesus?

    Luke was VERY careful in Acts to show us the difference: the mighty baptism in the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit "ON" or "UPON." Salvation, on the other hand, or regeneration, is the Holy Spirit WITHIN.

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    Ha ha ha! Now that was FUNNY! You started out in error! Paul taught pretrib first.

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    It is another word for stewardship and in the case of earth, GOD'S stewardship over earth - which has changed over time. For example: Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. One method of...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    This is not rocket science: there are always and forever only TWO resurrections: one for the righteous and one for the damned. ALL the righteous (Jesus included) will take part in the CHIEF of all resurrections - the one john called "the first" in most English translations. Next, ALL the...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    1 Thes. 4&5: Paul's classic rapture passage: study it and then tell us WHEN in relation to other end time events: such as the Day of the Lord, the start of God's wrath, the start of the 70th week, ETC.

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    You can lump all those verses together AS IF they all happen at the same time, but all you are really doing is showing your ignorance of scripture. Question: are the signs in the Sun and Moon in Matthew 24 are the same very signs of the sun and moon John wrote at the 6th seal?

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    Our big disagreement is not with the words in this passage but answered the question WHEN. WHEN will Jesus come for His church? (This passage is pointed to Gentile believers.)

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    Perhaps you did not understand Jesus' point in bringing up Noah: it was ONLY to point out the suddeness of their destrcution: living life to the fullest (eating, drinking marrying...) right up to the day they died. Of course you can use Noah and Lot as types, but that was not Jesus' intent.

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    No you don't! You CERTAINLY don't take Rev. 19 for what it says. You have to MOVE the marriage and supper to a later TIME and a later PLACE.

    THE WOMEN OF THE CHURCH

    I find it interesting that God the Holy Spirit seems not to agree with Paul, but anointed women such as kathryn Kuhlman, and Aimee Semple McPherson (to name two out of many). Not only did the Holy Spirit anoint them for ministry but backed their ministry with signs, wonders and miracles. Did...

    Hitler the seventh head of the beast

    I disagree on "the end." I think the end is when Jesus returns and ends the 42 months of authority of the Beast. The gospel is preached to the world by ANGELS as shown in Rev. 14, right after the midpoint of the week.

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    One thing I think we can agree on: we don't read scripture the same way. For example, I read of the Day of His wrath at the 6th seal in chapter 6 and simply believe John wrote exactly what He saw in the vision in the same order he saw it. Therefore, I believe God's wrath begins when Jesus...

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    That is not AT ALL the order of events in my book of Revelation in my bible. For example, the wedding and supper is before the 1000 year reign and the city coming down is after the 1000 years and after the old earth and old heaven have vanished and God has created a NEW heaven and earth.

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    You THINK you know, so go ahead and get left behind. As I said, we can compare notes during the Millennial Reign. I am going to enjoy heaven during the 70th week, praying to be found worthy to escape what is coming. Since your faith is to go through "all these things" that God's escape plan...

    So amazing! 76 pages and over 1500 posts and no one has changed their mind. It is a waste of time.
