QUESTION: Well someone else told me that whn the Rapture comes,everyone will be gone but they will go into judgment,is that right or not?

ANSWER: No it's wrong. When the church is removed from the earth at the Rapture, the Tribulation period will begin, the 2nd part of that tribulation period is known as the Great Tribulation.

Everyone who is not saved will still be on earth, they will enter into the tribulation period, the time of Grace will be over, and God again will also turn His attention back to the nation of Israel, all the nations will turn against Israel under a world leader who will be the Anti-Christ, and in the end God will defend the nation of Israel Himself. Christ will return and set up his millennial kingdom reign on earth.

QUESTION: Well what if a person is not sure if they are saved,does that mean that they are not or they just want reassurance?

ANSWER: If the person has asked God to saved them, and accepted Christ as their personal saviour then they are saved, and when the Rapture happens they will go with all the other Christians.

We all need reassurance every now and then, even Christians. Life is a scary place at times, and it is easy to question what we know to be true, or doubt the things we put our trust or hope in. If you have said the sinners prayer and you meant it, you will go to heaven, you will be part of the rapture and you will not go to hell.

The Christian life is not easy most of the time. There is so much in the world that entices us and tempts us. It can be a constant struggle at times. But whatever we do with our lives, God will never cast us away once we are saved. It is better for our well being therefore to follow God as best we can.

Fellowship with mature Christians who can support you and encourage you.
