It's not that you don't want to, its just that you simply can't.  So, its' best to keep your judgments to yourself.

Nothing I said was provocative.  I addressed the issue you raised head-on.   How did not address the issue?   I am not avoiding anything.  I quoted and directly addressed your remarks!    

No one said that anyone is destined to wrath.  They become Christians during the Tribulation.  They are not Christians destined to wrath.  They become Christians in the midst of the wrath of God.   

There is nothing to reconcile as no one said that any believer is "destined" to wrath.   It is not special privilege or segregation.   It is simply that we believe that after the Tribulation begins, after the Church is taken out of the earth  that everyone else will be the unsaved that rejected the Gospel.   Some of them, actually a great number of them will get saved during that time period.    They are not "destined" for that, it's just that this is when they got saved. 

God has not destined ANY believers for wrath.  Just like God has not destined any of us for persecution.  But those who rejected the Gospel and are alive when Tribulation starts will go through the Tribulation.  It is a natural consequence of their decision, but they will be able to be saved during that time period, nonetheless.   The doors of grace are not closed on them and they will be saved.  Unfortunately, it will be an awful time to be a Christian, but they have the same eternity in Heaven and the Lord will be with them in that awful time period, the same as us.

My last word for all the acolytes of the pretrib doctrine in this thread.

1 Peter 4:17 King James Version (KJV)

17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

You'll soon see how right Peter is about the end of the age. Throw off the yoke, renew your mind, get ready, cause the church isn't going anywhere.

Hope to see you in the throne room!

False prophets don't look for answers, students do....Diaste is a student looking for answers

Which is not refutation of what I said.   You can't actually mount a substantive response so you deflect.   Thanks for bolstering my position.

Can a person be a part of the body of Christ and not be a part of the church?

 

Nope.  OT saints are not part of the body of Christ, neither are Tribulation saints.  They are not second class believers, but they are not part of the Church. "Body of Christ" is a metaphor for the Church.

Tell me that, 'not a part of the church' is equitable and nonsegregationist. If they are full believers why must they endure wrath and the church does not? Oh, your a dispensationalist. Never mind.

It's not segregationist.  Segregationism would be separating out certain Christians today, as being not part of the Church.

But they endure God's all the same.

Semantics doesn't change the fact that the church escapes wrath based on Paul's statement, yet pretrib doctrine has 'full believers' enduring the wrath from which the pretrib believers do not suffer. It's wrong as we, believers are not appointed wrath, all of them.

Something is drastically askew with the doctrine.

They are full believers, but they were NOT believers during the Church age.  They missed out on that.   Choices have consequences.   They were not believers who were left behind to suffer.   They rejected the Gospel initially, but found Christ in the midst of the Tribulation.   

They are not "appointed" to wrath.  That is not why they are going through it.    Just because someone is going through the wrath doesn't mean they are "appointed" to it.   It is just how the circumstances occurred.   They are actually martyred for their faith by the AC.  But they are not at all diminished as believers (Rev. 7:9-17).

They become believers the same way we do.  They put their faith in Jesus Christ and are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, same as us.   There's nothing "irreconcilable" about that.

  • For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.  1 Corinthians 12:13
  • There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism.  Ephesians 4:4

Why do you try to divide something that God has declared to be one?

You have stated that after the pretrib rapture that the new covenant is still in effect, and that tribulation saints are saved as we are and are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, yet they are not a part of the body of Christ.  How do you reconcile that view with the the two verses above?

That is talking about the Church. It is not including either Old Testament saints or the Tribulation saints.  I am not dividing anything.

Being saved and being part of the Church are not the same thing.   Old Testament saints who were saved are not part of the Church or the body of Christ.  The Church was not on the earth when they were alive.   Teh Church did not start until Acts 2.   So it follows that since the church will not be the earth during the Tribulation, those who are saved during that time will not part of the Church.

No one but you is talking about Old Testament saints.  They don't even factor into this discussion.  Please stick to the topic at hand.  We are talking about new covenant believers and the indwelling Holy Spirit, the body of Christ.  That's the scope.  Let me post the scriptures again.

  • For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.  1 Corinthians 12:13
  • There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism.  Ephesians 4:4

If the "tribulation saints" have the Holy Spirit indwelling, they are part of the one body, the body of Christ.  There's no other way to read that.

The old testament saints was given as an example of those  that were saved but were not a part of "the church" because it didn't exist yet. 

Were they under the new covenant?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
