Does the Mormon church believe in a pre-tribulational rapture?

Answer 1

We believe that when Christ comes again that we will be caught up into the air to receive Him. However, we don't believe that all righteous people will be taken off the earth while the wicked go through tribulation. We have very different interpretations of The Book of Revelation.

Answer 2

this is what Mormons believe in all the revelations of God, past, present, or future. Mormons believe that revelation did not cease with the Apostles. With the death of the Apostles there was no one on earth with the authority to receive revelation for the Church of Jesus Christ for many years. But starting in 1820 that authority was restored to Joseph Smith and exists in the Mormon Church. The leaders of the Mormon Church are sustained as prophets, seers, and revelators. Through Joseph Smith and succeeding prophets of the Church many new revelations have been received in modern times and old revelations clarified. Mormons also believe there are yet things to be revealed concerning the kingdom of God.

Answer 3

Seems like many of the answers haven't addressed the question. The correct answer would be: No.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, (yes, they are Christian and the Church is based on Christ's teachings) believe that all mankind will be resurrected.
I have not heard that members will be selected first. Christ's sacrifice was for all mankind, not just Mormons.

Answer 4

No they do not. Mormons are NOT Christians, although they will attempt to tell you they are.
Mormonism teaches that God used to be a man on another world and that he became a god by following the laws and ordinances of his god on his home world. He brought his wife to this world, a woman he had married on the other world. She is, essentially a goddess.
In his present god-state, he rules our world. He has a body of flesh and bones. Brigham Young the second prophet of the Mormon church said that instead of letting any other man do it, God the Father did it with Mary. He said that the birth of our savior was as natural as the birth of our parents. Essentially, what this means is that Brigham Young taught that god the father came down and had relations with Mary, his spirit daughter, to produce the body of Jesus

In Mormonism, men and women have the potential of becoming gods. President Lorenzo Snow said, "As god once was, man is. As God is, man may become." In order to reach this exalted state of godhood, a person must first become a good Mormon, pay a full ten percent tithe to the Mormon church, follow various laws and ordinances of the church, and be found worthy.

THAT is no where near Christianity!!!

Answer 5

i'd choose to point out that the reason we've geared up temples is to assist end the artwork that needs to be completed in any different case the earth would be "wasted." whether it extremely is a conditional or precise word is sort of open to interpretation, yet i do no longer think of there's a would desire to cleanse the entire earth the place the temples and different righteous human beings have already lived. There are, whether, different places on earth that would choose to be cleansed. think of, as an occasion, of the countless concentration camps and prisons the place relatively unspeakable issues have got here approximately. i do no longer see the resurrected Jewish human beings being relatively attracted to coming back to stay everywhere close to the place those places are, till they are thoroughly eradicated and altered with something different. Or a extra moden fictional occasion, contained in the movie "Forrest Gump" you will keep in mind the scene the place Forrest has the rickety previous domicile the place undesirable Jenny substitute into abused as a new child thoroughly razed and got rid of. As I are conscious of it, the "Rapture" as a doctrine substitute into stepped forward contained in the nineteenth Century, and because it substitute into mysterious and impressive on the comparable time, human beings have been given extremely caught up in it and mixed it with an outstanding variety of alternative predictions approximately whilst the worldwide substitute into going to end. it extremely is my opinion that we are going to actual proceed to stay existence a lot because it extremely is for a protracted time, with the resurrection happening first before everything of the millennium, and people who have not yet died persevering with to stay to approximately 70-seventy two and then being "twinkled" - it extremely is in basic terms a fashion of asserting an on the spot substitute in our bodies particularly than dealing with actual dying. it relatively is the "meek" which will inherit the earth, no longer the depraved, so it would be extra appropriate to assert the depraved would be moved someplace else. i think of the rapture as an entire is extra tied into the 1st and 2nd resurrection, the place as different answerers have mentioned, the sheep would be separated from the goats. Or look at it this form, you will stay on your place on a similar time because it extremely is being reworked, so which you does no longer would desire to pass to an different united states of america. desire this opinion enables, based on years of Sunday college classes and ordinary sense.

Go read the book "The God Makers" which totally debunks the Mormon religion. They made a movie of "The God Makers" and at a preview showing, they had over 500 attorneys watch.
