AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord!

Subject: Is the rapture biblically supported? |
Bible Note: Kalos, I just wanted you to know that I no longer attend the church where I was taught imminence. In my new church, the pastor has not taught on it since I have been there, so I don't know what he believes in this regard. I intend to ask him this Sunday. I moved to a different area, so it was needful that I change churches after 11-1/2 years of being in the church where I was saved. The pastor of my old church retired after 44-1/2 years, and I thought every word he spoke was true. He was my mentor. But I should have investigated for myself and not just taken his word for it. He always told us to do just that. I am glad that I found this board, where ideas and statements are backed up by God's Word, and I will not make statements in the future unless I have the scripture to prove it. Thanks for listening. Blessings to you, Janae. |
