Question
Hi Cooper,
I am doing a study on the rapture and am curious about how the Baptists present it.
To make it short if you could list a supporting verse and than explain how that relates to your belief is fine.
Thanks!
Hi Matt,
Thank you for your questions and I will explain the biblical position with you. As a Baptist I believe the Bible and accept what it says literally which is the position of all true Baptists.
The best way to explain it would be for you to read my article at http://www.bible-truth.org/myst-3.htm "THE MYSTERY OF THE RAPTURE OF THE BODY OF CHRIST AT THE END OF THE CHURCH AGE, 1 Cor. 15:51-58, 1 Thess. 4:13-18.
I also have several other articles on my apologetics page at http://bible-truth.org/apologeticspage.html#002 which address the "end times" and on false views of the rapture.
I think you will find what you are looking for there, but if you have further questions feel free to write.
