I respectfully decline, I am not interested.
Your trying to pull your hair out over who is saved,when where and how. I did that too for a great multitude of years across my life. I thought if I do this I would be. I looked at others and thought they were not. I was scared to death that if he didn't show me step by step what to say to my loved ones and have them do those things they wouldn't be saved.
I confess though I was the one who didn't believe he saved me or my loved ones. He was never going to deny his own blood nor was his father by telling me anything other than the Cross. I was the one who denied the Cross till I saw it and then all my payers were answered.
No I am not. I KNOW exactly who the Scripture says are the SAVED. I am not 70 years old, and IN KNEW HIM, when I was 29 years old. HE used me a lot over the years, and I believe HE has more for me to do, or I would already be dead.

Well spoken. And very interesting perspective.I have studied about the Bride of Christ. It appears that there was an undivided Kingdom under David and Solomon. Then after Solomon the kingdom divided, The House of Judah and The House of Israel. God ended up divorcing the House of Israel. They were first taken into captivity by Assyria in 721 BC and then later scattered throughout the earth. Because they never repented and returned to God, as the House of Judah did after their 70 years in Babylonian captivity, they multiplied and filled the earth and forgot where they came from and who their God was. Because God divorced The House of Israel for their adultress lifestyle, ie serving other gods, God stated in His own Law, Deut. 24:1-4, that He could never remarry them. The only recourse was for God to die, resurrect and then take them to be His Bride. Sound familiar? Jesus, who was The WORD come alive, willfully martyred Himself so that He could die and resurrect and marry those God had divorced. The Gentiles are mostly the lost sheep, the ten tribes of Israel, and Jesus has come to bring the Kingdom back to the undivided Kingdom. Most Christians don't read the stories in the Torah or the Prophets or the Writings (we call it the Old Testament) because they think it does not pertain to them.
Released from the Law
Rom 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
Rom 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Rom 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
Rom 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
What LAW DO THEY KNOW?
Laws Concerning Divorce
Deu 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Deu 24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
Deu 24:3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
Deu 24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
WAS JEREMIAH PERPLEXED HOW GOD COULD REMARRY THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL SINCE HIS OWN LAW FORBID TAKING HER BACK?
Jer 3:1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
Jesus came to be Immanuel "God with us" and he was sinless and He died so that the NEW COVENANT could be made with all the people and nations of the whole earth.
I believe we are to be adopted or grafted in to the Commonwealth of Israel. This is our calling, to lay down our lives with Christ and to raise up a new life, that has been washed and made ready for the Bridegroom for when He comes back from His Father's house to collect His Bride.
Agree, the indications are that there are in fact several categories of Saints, with differing phases of them being glorified.Hello VCO! Very sorry to hear about all the strokes and all in that one month!!! It's good that you're doing well on Xaelto. It's even better to know that when the Lord does take you, your spirit will be in best place you could ever be in and free of all that, looking for your immortal and glorified body.
In regards to the OT saints, I don't believe that they are apart of the church, but belong to the OT saints of Israel and will most likely be resurrected at the time when Jesus returns to the earth to end the age.
Regarding "other sheep" I have always believed that Jesus was referring to the Gentile believers, not the OT saints.
Also, because Jesus said, " I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it," with "I will build" being in the "future, indicative, active" tense, meaning that the church hadn't been built yet and therefore could not include the OT saints. Otherwise He would have said, "I will continue to build, or I will add to."
I also do not believe that the tribulation saints are apart of the church. In my understanding, the church period ends when the Lord appears to gather us. This is why the word ekklesia/church is never used to describe the great tribulation saints. The fact that after John had previously written letters to the seven churches and then in chapter 7 the elder asks John who these in white robes are, would infer that they were not the church. In further support of this, John doesn't recognize who this group is, ergo, not the church.
Im pretty sure folks coming to life is a resurrection. Rest of the dead LIVED NOT until...... <- resurrection.There is no rapture in rev 20.
Those are beheaded believers that have already been established in heaven and assigned thrones.
They are the same ones we see early on in the trib as the innumerable number.
No rapture or resurrection in rev 20
Never heard of a9,a2,a13 etc.Me too(radio broadcast) he was Acts 2 dispensationist(A2D) and supporter of Christian Zionism. If you notice https://www.levitt.com/essays/dh (and many other letters on the site) and compare it to this thread it is A2D verses A9D,A13D,A28D,,ect.
Go read it againIm pretty sure folks coming to life is a resurrection. Rest of the dead LIVED NOT until...... <- resurrection.
Absolutely says: No rapture or resurrection in rev 20.
Revelation 20 says: this is the first resurrection. -> came to life -> rest of the dead lived not until......
I'll take what the Bible says over your strange doctrines any day!
How can you say no resurrection in rev20 when the word is used in the chapter. UNBELIEVABLE the state we are in today in Christianity. COME ON PEOPLE!
Well spoken. And very interesting perspective.

I have heard people say the temple and animal sacrifice will be present in the mil.Let me ask you,,in the end, after they build an temple and make sacrifices does this save them or does the Scipture say they recieve Jesus as Messiah and Savior?
Go read it again
DOES NOT SAY ANYONE "CAME TO LIFE" AFTER THE GT.
I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
You inserted a resurrection there.
[…]
There is ZERO there about a resurrection after the gt. (Pre mil)
No one is leaving the earth, pre, mid or post anything.
