Bible Question:
Good Morning, Shortly after the rapture takes place, I believe the Bible states that we will enter into the Great Tribulation. During that period of time, although it will be difficult, I believe that there will be people saved. If you too agree with this,how will souls be saved if the Holy Sprit is taken away with the church? Will the Holy Sprit be taken away with the church? Thanks for this wonderful Website...

Bible Answer: I don't believe that the Holy Spirit is entirely contained in the Church, and I know of no place in the Bible that teaches that. Therefore, if the Church is removed, that doesn't mean the Holy Spirit cannot continue to do His work of convicting the world of sin, and righteousness, and judgment. When any are saved, they will be filled with the Holy Spirit: Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:39 "For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself." Does this help? Love in Christ, Mark |
