Teaching of pre-tribulation rapture says, or implies . . .
— not all the elect will go up in the rapture
— there is a second chance to get saved if you missed the rapture
— people get saved after the rapture, and they experience mega tribulation and martyrdom (but we don’t, we won’t, because we’re gone ?)
— there is a second coming of Jesus and a third coming of Jesus
— we Christians will not escape ‘regular’ tribulation, but we will escape ‘great’ tribulation
— compelling people to get saved to avoid The Great Trbulation supercedes compelling people to get saved to avoid hell
— descriptions in the Bible of The Great Tribulation don’t apply to us who won’t be here (so what’s the point of most of Revelation ?)
— three (or . . .) interpretations or beliefs about the end-times time line are always mentioned first—then, “I believe this way”—and then, every question, every detail is covered definitively as fact
— so other beliefs, other interpretations, are left in the dust, regarded as ridiculous
Question:
What effect does most end-time teaching have on the listener/reader ?
Important:
Teaching about repentance and believing in Jesus for forgiveness so your name is written in heaven—this message must prevail over any emphasis on end-time teaching.
