Does anyone go to a Christian church that don't teach the rapture doctrine?

Answer 1

Pastor Billy says: over 95% of all Christians worldwide do not believe in the Rapture doctrine. This doctrine is less than 160 years old and was pushed forward by a group called the brethren formed in Dublin Ireland and Southern England. It was led by various men but the one most well known is John Nelson Darby also called the father of predestinationalism.

There are no bible verses whether taken literally or figuratively that present the Rapture theology as truth. Any bible verses used by the Rapture folk to prove it when examined in context disprove the rapture idea(s) entirely. For example 1The 4 explains that those "left behind" are the ones who are lifted to the clouds to meet Christ. Also we are told that this coming of Christ is what they is the rapture will be sounded by the sound of loud trumpet which all will hear. This of course is contrary to what rapture trap clan would have you believe. In there theology those chosen will just vanish mysteriously and those left behind won't know what happened. Finally the bible verses in Matthew explain the endtimes as a comparsion to the times of Noah and Lots. During those periods who was "left behind"? the good guys the bad people were all taken first!

The Rapure is truly not a Christian doctrine believed for 2000 years and that is a fact. It saddens most Christians to think that many are being fooled into believing this false doctrine both Christian and non-Christian.

Answer 2

first of all, each and every church is evangelical. This basically skill that they evangelize. They recruit converts. Jesus commanded us to bypass to the ends of the Earth preaching and coaching..... Even church homes who are not valid nevertheless evangelize, if for no different reason than to boost their very own club. Do they instruct rapture doctrine? maximum significant US denominations instruct rapture doctrine, yet no real Bible church does because of the fact it fairly is an unbiblical coaching. Rapture doctrine relies totally on outlandishly incorrect understandings of the Revelation.

Answer 3

The original Christian Church never taught such a thing, and still doesn't today, because the various forms of this doctrine are just a collection of modern manmade traditions less than 200 years old. As such it cannot be considered Christian truth, and the original Christian Church, the Holy Catholic Church, teaches only Christian truth.

Answer 4

I go to a presbetarian church, and I have yet to hear a sermon based on rapture (which is not even in the Bible), or even on the book of Revelations. I doubt it realy has to do with the denomination, but more to do with the Church/Pastor/Deacons...in other words, specific people.

Answer 5

There are no verses that has the word rapture in the bible.

I guess that means some false church are making it up or adding a word to revelation.

The word "Rapture" comes from the Latin Bible word "Rapare" which means to take away or to snatch out.

Answer 6

Yes. Since it was made up 300 years ago all the doctrines my church teaches have been believed since the apostles.

Answer 7

Yes, many of us regard the Book of Revelation as a message to the churches, coded to get past the Roman censors.

Answer 8

If your church is not preaching/teaching the Bible, why are you there? So many pastors will have their flock's blood on their hands because they didn't teach the plan of salvation. Geez people, if a church is not teaching the Bible, its unsound and you need to leave.

Answer 9

Many branches of Christianity ignore it: Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Lutherans among others.

Answer 10

Will Christ appear visibly on a cloud and then take away faithful Christians into the heavens while the world looks on?

Did Jesus say whether the world would see him again with their physical eyes?

John 14:19, RS: “Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more, but you [his faithful disciples] will see me; because I live, you will live also.” (Italics added.) (Compare 1 Timothy 6:16.)

What is the meaning of the Lord’s ‘descending from heaven’?

Could the Lord “descend from heaven,” as stated at 1 Thessalonians 4:16, without being visible to physical eyes? In the days of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah, Jehovah said that he was going to “go down to see” what the people were doing. (Gen. 18:21, RS) But when Jehovah made that inspection, no human saw him, although they did see the angelic representatives that he sent. (John 1:18) Similarly, without having to return in the flesh, Jesus could turn his attention to his faithful followers on earth to reward them.

In what sense, then, will humans “see” the Lord “coming in a cloud”?

Jesus foretold: “Then they will see the Son of man [Jesus Christ] coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” (Luke 21:27, RS) In no way does this statement or similar ones in other texts contradict what Jesus said as recorded at John 14:19. Consider: At Mount Sinai, what occurred when God ‘came to the people in a thick cloud,’ as stated at Exodus 19:9? (RS) God was invisibly present; the people of Israel saw visible evidence of his presence, but none of them actually saw God with their eyes. So, too, when Jesus said that he would come “in a cloud,” he must have meant that he would be invisible to human eyes but that humans would be aware of his presence. They would “see” him with their mental eyes, discerning the fact that he was present. (For further comments, see the main heading “Return of Christ.”)

Is it possible for Christians to be taken to heaven with their physical bodies?

1 Cor. 15:50, RS: “I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.”
