| Who will Rapture?? We were all taught that if we believe (John 3:16) we have eternal salvation. But there is no such promise who will go up in the pre-tribulation rapture. On the contrary, Matt 25:1-13, tells us to trim our wick and be prepared by having enough oil or you will be "left behind". Many have salvation as tribulation saints (those raised in the tribulation) but only those that are prepared, will go up as bride of christ in the pre-tribulation rapture. This is why we are taught to be prepared and live every day as his return is immanent. Romans 8 – only those that have the spirit of Christ ALIVE and dwelling in them can go up. it says we have an "Obligation" to live by spirit, not by flesh. How do you get the holy spirit?? Acts 2:38 – If you repent, you will receive the holy spirit. (ensure you understand the true meaning of repentance), that is to be changed from a mind of worldly desires to desires of the spirit. Luke 13:3 and Luke 13:5 - tells us only those that repent will not perish. You must be living in a state of repentance to go up. It is up to you if you will go up as bride of christ in pre-tribulation rapture, as a tribulation saint during tribulation, or not to go up at all...The fact that we are commanded to repent twice in one verse emphasizes the importance of repentance. Romans 8 makes it abundantly clear that only those that have the holy spirit will go up, and Acts 2:38 tell us we receive the Holy Spirit when we repent. Do you truly believe, or do you believe in vain. If you believe, you live by the spirit. 1John5 teaches us that if we truly believe, we will overcome the world. This is exactly what repentance is, to change our mind from desires of the world to desires of the spirit. How do you know if you have the holy spirit?? You will experience chastening (chastisement,disciplining) when you sin. God tells us that whom he loves he chastens, and he who is not chastened is an illegitimate child. (Hebrews 12). People that don't have the holy spirit don't care when they sin. They can be rude, gossiping, curse, anger, sny, stealing, unloving, selfish etc and not feel remorse or try to correct. Just as our parents disciplined us when we did something wrong, God disciplines us when we sin because he loves us. Learn to love his chastening, as it is proof that we are not an illegitimate child. Who will rapture?? Those that experience chastening when they sin, which is proof they have the holy spirit. If you do not experience chastening when you sin, learn the true meaning of repentance and recommit your vows of repentance and be filled with the Holy spirit. I would also recommend that you ensure your spirit is not grieved. Romans 8:11 says If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you,you too will be raised. Jesus spirit was not grieved…so I recommend that you ensure your spirit is not grieved either. When you sin, the holy spirit will chasten you and you are to self-correct yourself..."spit out that sin"...but if you ignore the spirit when you sin, you grieve your spirit. Confess your sins immediately when you sin. I also recommend you confess daily so that he will forgive you and purify you of all unrighteousness. (1 john 1:9). Bottom line is to be prepared and live by spirit, and not be one of the 5 foolish virgins in matt 25 1-13 so that you may be raised as bride of christ in the pre-tribulation rapture. NOTE: I hope i am wrong and that all saved christians will rapture, but my interpretation of the bible suggests many will go up as tribulation saints, if their spirit is grieved. |
