You might want to start learning the truth then.
And here I thought we could have some christian conversation.
Doesn't sound very christian to me.

In Rev 4, John does not see the lampstands (candlesticks) of the church, he sees the seven lamps of fire which are the seven Spirits of God. The church(body of Christ) is not the seven Spirits of God. Also to say the 24 elders represent the church has no basis. We are not told who they are.
I really think you are trying to make this passage say something that is not said.
As for as the 10 virgins being saved, you are wrong. Five had oil and five did not. Oil is necessary for light. We are to be the light of the world but can only do so if the Holy Spirit is within us. The oil represents the Holy Spirit. Five were saved and five were not.
Jesus never said He would come for some of us, He promised to come for all of us. And there is only one coming.
If one is punished for not having a 100% understanding of end time events, we would all be punished, or as you believe left behind.
You are telling lies. I haven't even been participating those threads you mention here.These three are working together, liking each other's posts, while one of them is trying to set me up.
They tried the same thing in the Core beliefs - Repentance, faith, works done with a pure heart thread.
I noticed in that thread also there were others incognito in the background saying nothing.
They never travel alone.
One lures them out, another picks a fight, while the others watches, collaborating their story, & report me for fighting in the thread.
The Administrator doesn't even know he's being used when they all complain to him.
They never travel alone.
United. One spirit.
Some of you already suspected this.
It's true.
I was just jesting about others that twist the Word of GOD.....Try John 1:1...."In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Those passages refer to THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST to earth WITH His saints and angels. They cannot be (and are not) at odds with the Rapture in the least, since Christ comes "in the air" and returns to Heaven with His Bride.
It seems five had oil, but it ran out. Previously possessing oil indicates the Holy Spirit was there, & then it wasn't.
Previously saved.
So Jesus comes 3x to the earth is that your story? once as a baby, once in the air and once on the day of the Lord?
Oh, you are one of those Darby bashers. Darby and a few others popularized the Rapture BUT they did not make it up. The imminency of the Rapture has been around since the 1st century. Also, the Latin Bible, one of the Oldest Bibles far earlier than Darby popularization of the Rapture.
God will not send anyone until his plan is fulfilled, doing the opposite betrays his character and makes him a liar. Darby really messed up the body wit his rapture theory.
Exactly. This problem is found in Historic Premillennialism ,Post-Millennialism, and Amillennialism. And all three are false, since they all equate the Church with Israel.
And yet postrib rapture has no verses.
Nor is there any example of a post judgement deliverance with immediate u turn.
Lot
Moses
Baby jesus.....
All removed PREJUDGEMENT
The Jews are also ushered away most likely to petra.
But the church is clearly wiped off the face of the earth.
Sure I can read....and the wrath of God is announced at the 7th trump, in HEAVEN before the throne.......I will take that any day over lost men hiding in cave thinking it is the wrath of God......funny thing....guys like you been spewing the imminent return oh since about the 1800's and yet.....time marches on and more and more events are fulfilled and there are STILL things to be fulfilled....until that day....the return of Christ is not IMMINENT...P>S> 40 years means nothing when your refuse to acknowledge the very definitions of words and who they actually apply to and THE ANNOUNCED WRATH OF GOD at the 7th TRUMP......

If you will notice the chapter begins with the 144,000 who are believed to be Jews that will evangelize the unsaved that were left behind when the rapture happened. I think these are unbelieving Gentiles that were saved during the Great Tribulation.
Moses?
He was in Egypt with Israel whilst the Egyptian firstborn were killed. Israel was protected. Exodus 11
AFTER that he got them out and drowned Pharaoh (the type of AC) with his army in the Red Sea.
6 There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.7 But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any person or animal.’ Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.
Likewise Noah and his family were preserved through the flood when the rest of the world died.
The veil usually gets removed on imminent return , when one lets the Holy Spirit reveal the real meaning behind 1 Thess 4:13-18
Is there any evidence supporting that?
If Jesus comes "in the air" that automatically means that He does NOT come to earth. And He comes to earth AFTER the Day of the Lord, not on the day of the Lord. So -- in fact -- there is a first coming and a second coming to earth.So Jesus comes 3x to the earth is that your story? once as a baby, once in the air and once on the day of the Lord?
Rather than being insulted,take the opportunity to sytematically correct me.Yes it does say that but the persecution of the AC is not the wrath of God. The Psalm I posted was
" A thousand may fall at your side,ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked."
The small point I am trying to make is that it is provable that God CAN, HAS and DOES protect his own people from the same wrath he appoints to his enemies.
People who are entrenched in the pre-trib rapture doctrine are denying that is true. Then insulting me and claiming I have no scripture to back up my point. I am asked to present evidence. I did. There is much more but if some people can't accept one small point because it doesn't support the pre-trib rapture doctrine, and follow up with insults what is the point?
The passage is about resurrection of loved ones in Christ, not super secret raptures in the air.
