Do you believe in the Rapture?

[Bishopite]

You may be right; it so hard sometimes to discern what someone else means in writing. If that is indeed what she meant, then I am glad we are on the same page.

Thanks for the further explanation!

Yes, it is sometimes hard to discern what is meant strictly in writing, that’s one reason why Christ never taught nor established sola Scriptura as our guide to truth; but Scripture, Tradition and the Magisterium.

Although I’m Catholic (convert), I voted maybe. This is why: digisys.net/users/ddalton/the_rapture_vs__the_second_coming.htm

Hi,

Im not sure yet. I have not studied it enough biblically to make a decision either way. I just know Christ is coming back and I better be right with God when it happens.

I agree with you!

Yes! Christ is coming back! We are in the Last days!

As you have it defined there, no I don’t believe in that. But that is a very specific definition of the term that would be better described as being Pre-trib Dispensational Pre-millennialism. I am Pre-mil, but I’m neither Dispensational nor Pre-trib in my views.

And I would dare-say that while "Left Behind"ism has been quite popular over the years, it’s becoming less so. Officially, very few evangelical churches have a position on this. Those who do usually profess a belief in simple Premillennialism, but not necessarily Dispensationalism. Evangelical Presbyterians like Sproul and to a lesser extent Kennedy and Schaeffer have always been unashamedly Amillennial.
