THE CHURCH THAT COULDN’T DO ANYTHING RIGHT AND, THE CHURCH THAT COULDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG
Revelation 3:1-13 Not long ago, researchers asked pastors how they believed Christ would rate their churches. Less than half of one percent said Christ would rate their churches as highly effective. Forty-three percent believed He would find them respectable. However, fifty-three percent said Christ would rate their churches as having little positive impact on society. Today, we are going to look at two churches that could not have been more different: a church that couldn’t do anything right and a church that couldn’t do anything wrong.

I'm a pre-triber. Meaning I believe the Christians will be taken out of here before the tribulation starts.

John 5:28-29 28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. Not according to these verse above. Paul states in 1 Thessalonians that the dead in Christ will rise moments before the saints are raptured and Jesus states in these verses above state that the condemned ones rise at the same time to be condemned which happens on the judgement day. The rapture is at the end of our world not seven years before 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever |

The timing of the rapture in relation to the tribulation is one of the most controversial issues in the church today and I have read many very well compelled studies that supports all sides to this.
As we are not a debating forum (as stated in our forum rules) I am happy for members to share their believes one way or the other to their interpretation.

No problems. Just pre-trib makes more sense to me. Its a secondary issue anyway not relevant to ones salvation. Just believe it will happen please.
