Christians don’t study the Bible -- they listen to Pastors. Pastors don’t study the Bible – they read Commentaries.

Rick wrote:This says to me that there will be a great deal of death, suffering, and persecution before the Mark is even instituted. Indeed, there are reports of US Military personnel stating that once the New World Order is in place, Christians will be taken to the camps and brutally raped and tortured, and then sacrificed to Satan in order to bring forth the Anti-Christ.

Well, here it comes! My wife and I are coming out of the closet this month, and letting everyone know that we have left the illogical, unscriptural Pre-Trib Rapture position.
We are missionaries with a very conservative mission board. Our church is very conservative, "old time religion" Baptist. We will probably lose everything. Our mission board won't have us because we don't agree with their statement of faith anymore. My own Pastor will drop our monthly support and will definately "bench us for life" from ever preaching or teaching Sunday School. All of our other supporting churches will more than likely drop us like 'heretics.' AND my in-laws (a church planter/evangelist) will probably disown us!
Anybody know a good Post-Trib mission board? LOL I am actually quite excited about the whole thing. But I do not relish having to find another church, etc. And the way that Baptists do things, any church that I try to join in the future will want to know why I left, etc. I will be black-balled from the conservative Baptist realm that I have enjoyed for the past ten years.
Anybody else gone through this before?
I love it when Jesus gives us an opportunity to take a stand for Him, but this is ridiculous! LOL

p.s. Oh, and since I'll lose my monthly missionary support, I'll probably have to get a real job again! oy!
Favoritetopic wrote:wow...I'm shocked. I had no idea there were churches that disown people for a view on the rapture??? That sounds like legalism and maybe it's a good thing you'll be changing churches. Or if God is working on the hearts of others there maybe more members will change. I think in the last days we'll see more of that.
When my pastor talked about the rapture he came to the conclusion that he didn't know...LOL! He's funny.

We left our church because almost every week our pastor said something referring to being raptured away. The people were really nice but the pastor wouldn't even discuss any other viewpoint.
Since it is just about impossible to find a church that feels that the church is going to go through the tribulation we are at another pre trib church, but one that the pastor isn't so blatant with it. We won't become members as we can't sign their statement of faith that states belief in the pre trib rapture, but it biblically sound otherwise, at least so far.
I found Herb's online book early last week and read it. I, too, believe we are either in the very beginnings of the 70th week or pretty close to it. I think most of the world is blind to what is really going on. I am looking forward to getting to know you on this board. I used to be on 2 pre trib boards but got kicked off when I turned post.
I still read a lot of pre trib and pre wrath information. I believe that by reading everything that is out there I will become more discerning about what is actually the truth of the bible. That's the hardest thing I think it is dealing with pre tribbers. They have their heads in the sand and won't even discuss the subject. Frustrating.
Anyway, glad to be here.

Such evil spirits play upon the battlefield of our minds and whisper in our minds... and what they play upon is our own thoughts and attempting to take our thoughts out of agreement with God's word.
