I'm not sure if I believe in the rapture. While we're involved in an important issue and test to see if we chose God or man's way. Good or evil. Those of us that are still alive during the last days will really have our mettle tested! If we remain faithful, enduring intill the end, God will see us through the tribulation. Those faithful who died before the end days will be resurected to eternal life in paradise!

The Church will be raptured prior to the Antichrist's revelation at the Abomination of Desolation. Prerequisite would be accepting Jesus Christ in your heart. Basically if you are a Christian...

I agree. I personally believe that Christ will come before the tribulation. But even if he doesn't, I look at the tribulation as a way of reaching out to the lost, it's an awesome thing to serve the Lord and bring others to him. Though the tribulation would definetely be rough, it would be awesome to reach out to all of those and to die for the name of Christ. Just my thoughts. Peace In Christ. Amber

So Christians who do not "watch" will be rapured too? I thought the teaching was that only those who "watched" and were "ready" would be raptured. You're saying now that that isn't true? That a Christian dosen't have to be looking for Christ to come in order to be raptured? Interesting. I have never heard this view from any rapturist before.

I don't think there will be a rapture, Those of us who are still alive at the end of days, will go through a tribulation. Surviving it and recieving everlasting life in Paradise will depend on if we have Christ. We're to endure and remain faithful till the end. By the way, your screen name means Paradise in Latin, am I right?

I don't think there will be a rapture, I know there won't be one. But I have never heard a rapturist claim that Christians don't need to "Watch and be ready" for it before. It may, I don't know. In Greek it means "Coming, presense, or arrival"

The bulk of pretribbers I know and have read teach that all who are in Christ (which means they are "ready") will be raptured And that while we are instructed to watch, even if they aren't, they will still be raptured. The only ones who say otherwise are those who get upset at the attack of pretrib and pretribbers, and the group that are partial rapturists. Perhaps you should read what "rapturists" actually say.
