PT 3: EXPECTED
“waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:” (1 Cor 1:7).
In order to deny the pre-tribulational rapture of the Church there are several areas of the Bible that must first be rejected;The evident Biblical Distinction between the Church and IsraelThe clear historical gap concerning the biblical prophecies of Messiah and Gods judgment which were not evident in the Old Testament but revealed in the New.
The imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ for his Church.Each one of the above doctrines must be denied by each and every pastor who rejects the Pre-Tribulational Rapture of the Church.
Therefore we begin with one question; When is the return of Jesus EXPECTED?

False Religion
It is inevitable that those who believe Salvation is only a part of a journey and thereby can be lost, will revert to the Law, salvation by ‘works’, a False Religion.
Salvation is being ‘saved’ from hell, to claim that salvation can be “lost” is a nonsense statement and betrays an ignorance as to what salvation actually means.
The Profitability of the Scriptures For the Perfecting Of The Saints
Again and again we see the scriptures teach that the Saints of the Lord are only perfected in their faith and person through the scriptures.
