I would appreciate some insight fro...Dear brother,<br /><br />I would appreciate some insight from where the belief that children will be raptured originates. Allow me to draw a few examples of why that may not be the case.<br />First, when God exercised wrath on the world in Noah's flood, millions of infants, babies, and children were killed. Their souls will be in Heaven, however they did not escape the judgment of God on the Earth. Only Noah (the righteous) and his children were saved.<br /><br />Secondly, the same can be said for Sodom and Gomorrah. Infants, babies, and children died at the hand of God's wrath. Only Lot (the righteous) and his children were saved.<br /><br />Thirdly, at Passover, only those covered by the blood were spared. Thousands of children died.<br /><br />It seems to me that the Bible clearly shows a pattern relative to judgment. The righteous and their children are saved from wrath, but all others experience the wrath. <br /><br />If I am to base my expectation on what the Bible teaches, I would expect that children of the righteous (those covered by the grace of Jesus) will be raptured, but all others will remain and experience the wrath to come. The rapture is Christ claiming His bride, not saving the children of Earth.<br /><br />I would like to add that many claim "the age of accountability" for their proof that all children will be raptured. The age of accountability pertains to their eternal destiny, not their life on Earth. Children who are not accountable for knowing have always gone to Heaven at their death, but they all have entered Heaven through the portal of death. <br /><br />I know this is upsetting to some. If you disagree, please show me some biblical examples of children being exempted from God's wrath.<br /><br />I will listen to any feedback, but please cite scripture for your refutations and not your own personal hopes and thoughts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06236534354985945289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-29603871007754219762019-03-01T12:04:04.455-06:002019-03-01T12:04:04.455-06:00Thank you for this writing, I was recenty shocked ...Thank you for this writing, I was recenty shocked when I discovered and heard that Perry Stone espouses the partial rapture theroy.

Consecrate the congregation; Assemble the elders; Gather the children, even nursing infants. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber.<br /><br />Matthew 19:14<br />but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”<br /><br />Great article though. please come soon LORD.<br /><br />Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384335559456068135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-74548968753742196102017-09-12T05:06:22.887-05:002017-09-12T05:06:22.887-05:00Is the reduction of Gideon's army A symbolic r...Is the reduction of Gideon's army A symbolic reference to the ruptured? wayofpeacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187214360898018269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-54331032688447558822017-05-21T02:16:34.729-05:002017-05-21T02:16:34.729-05:00Incidentally, I wrote about the partial Rapture la...Incidentally, I wrote about the partial Rapture last year after our preacher said something to that effect:<br /><br />http://www.alittlestrength.com/articles/2016/1603-rupture.htmGreg L.http://www.alittlestrength.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-24558035724356997742017-05-07T20:42:35.776-05:002017-05-07T20:42:35.776-05:00Conforme esse estudo todos os que crerem em Jesus ...Conforme esse estudo todos os que crerem em Jesus como salvador serão salvos, como poderia me explicar então Mateus 25 sobre as parábolas das 10 virgens, as quais somente as 5 que eram prudentes e tinham o óleo representado pela unção do Espírito santo subiram e as 5 virgens néscias ficaram, sendo que as 10 eram virgens, ou seja pertenciam a igreja de Jesus cristo.<br />GratoPaulhttp://www.youtube.com/c)CANALALERTAMUNDIALnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-62049996827431871672017-04-19T19:13:29.336-05:002017-04-19T19:13:29.336-05:00

Over the past few weeks I think the Lord has shown me how much the enemy attacks the truth from within the "watching" community itself.

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.<br /><br />So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?” (Romans 7:14-24)<br /><br />According to the teachings of the partial rapture the Apostle Paul would be left behind based on his self-description in these verses, admitting his “back-sliding, lukewarm, carnal ways”. Anti-OSAS evaluation wouldn’t give much hope to him either.<br /><br />But as the Bible says (and Paul’s question is answered): “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:25)<br /><br />“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalm 103:1-5)<br /><br />Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713473992151283154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-71567536094540187262017-03-26T10:29:00.006-05:002017-03-26T10:29:00.006-05:00Hi again,

It is a marvelous wonder what the Sprit of God the father is doing today in his holy bride saved by His grace alone. Many false teachers with false dreams have risen and profited from their prophecies, but billions where be raptured and not millions. Look at Revelation, chapter 7, vs. 9, there is a multitude that cannot be counted worshiping the Lamb, our King, Savior and Love.

For adherents of the partial rapture theory and for all the anti-OSAS folks (though these two groups of people aren’t necessarily the same in every case): please consider 1 Corinthians 3: 10-15 which is about the evaluation of the believer’s work in Christ at the Bema Seat judgement.<br /><br />“By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.”<br /><br />Let’s repeat 1 Corinthians 3:15 to sink a biblical fact in: “ If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.”<br /><br />After the Rapture, believers will give an account of their lives at the Judgment Seat of Christ, called the Bema Seat. This is not about salvation, as I mentioned above it’s the evaluation of every believers’ work in Christ. Basically, (according to my knowledge of studying this subject) all that was done at the Lord’s prompt and in His strength will be counted among the gold and silver and all that was done outside the Lord’s will and without his prompt, done in our own strength(!) instead of His, will be counted as wood, hay, straw, etc. The late Jack Kelley, who’s an excellent Bible teacher in my opinion, wrote in depth about the Bema Seat judgment among other Biblical topics. (https://gracethrufaith.com/?s=bema+seat) My aim with this quote from 1 Corinthians was to refute all these works-based doctrines concerning our salvation in Christ and the rapture itself. It is very clear to me from these verses that even those whose whole life’s works will be burned up at the Judgment Seat of Christ will be saved and be raptured as well (which logically precedes the Bema Seat Judgment). <br /><br /><br /><br />Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713473992151283154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-27287321061371145172017-03-26T08:10:54.119-05:002017-03-26T08:10:54.119-05:00Both of these linked studies are totally unbiblica...Both of these linked studies are totally unbiblical false teachings, containing EXACTLY what Gary's article is speaking against!
