The End Time

[sup-rbeast]

I believe in God, but I don't believe that there is only one way through one religion to gain salvation.

As Christians what we are actually saying is that we are followers of Christ. So with that said,Jesus is the only way of salvation because He is the only One who can pay our sin penalty (Romans 6:23).Jesus said that he was the way, the truth, and Life, he also said that no one comes unto to the father except through him. So me speaking as a Christian or a follower of Christ I would have to say that Jesus is the only way to eternal Salvation.It is my belief that Allah can not produce Salvation, that Buddah cannot produce Salvation, and on and on.

The word rapture is not mentioned in the Bible to my knowledge. Some believe in pre-rapture which means that when the tribulation begins God will call the church home. Some believe in Tri=tribulation, meaning that after 3.5 years into the 7 years God will call his church home. Some beleive in Post tribulation, meaning that after the 7 year tribulation Jesus will come back and get his church. With that being said I hope and pray that pre-tribulation will take place.

I have been taught all my life that pre-tribulation will happen. Remember the left behind series? I hope that will transpire for my kids sake.I do believe that all people including Christians will endure the tribulation, then Jesus will split the Eastern Sky and call us home.So I would say that post-tribulation is the most logic after rightly dividing the Word. I know some have used the scripture that Jesus will come like a thief in the night to convince hearers that pre-tribulation will transpire.

I use that very scripture to conclude that Jesus will NOT come before tribulation.

That's the discussion my girlfriend and I were having the other day. I must not have been listening to well...can't remember which she said she believed. I just remember her talking about different people believing in those 3 distinct rapture events.
