Question
Hi I was wondering what is your position of the rapture question.I.E mid trib..pre trib or post trib.And could you give me scriptual refernces to your point of veiw.God bless from John...

Answer
Dear John,

I am hoping for Pre-Trib, but would not be suprise if it were Mid-Trib.

As far as there being a calling out of the Church the usual verse in Corinthians and Thessolonians apply. As to when, I think conjecture is all we have. We can know the times and seasons, which we are in now, but not the day or hour; as I am sure you already know.

I know I am saved and secure in Christ and if you hold to eternal salvation for believers now then we know that our calling out will come before the mark of the beast as all who take the mark are damn. No one can tell me that there are not weak or worldly ignorant blood bought saints that would not take the mark, therefore we must be gone before then.

As to what exactly has to happen before the Rapture is the question to solve if you want to put a time range on it. This is the question and as far as I know there has not been a good answer to it.

I hope this helps.

Your Servant In Christ Jesus,
Paul Walker
