I suppose that not all pentecostals are pretribulationists. Is that right?

Hi!
The majority of Pentecostal churches adhere to the premillenial, pretribulational rapture of the church. However, a significant number of ministers teach a mid or post tribulational rapture. There are even ministers who teach Amillenialism and Preterism.
The largest Pentecostal denomination, the Assemblies of God, officially endorses pretribulationism. The largest Oneness organization, the United Pentecostal Church, takes no official position on the rapture, except for an explicit rejection of Preterism.
I hope this helps and if you have any further questions, feel free to email me.
Regards,
Scalia

what's now commonplace by fact the Rapture is taught interior the bible (that believers would be caught up interior the air to fulfill Jesus) yet no timescale is given. the perception that this could ensue till now the return of Jesus to EARTH (even via some days) began to enhance throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, however the theory have been given caught while Dispensationalism arrived interior the nineteenth/twentieth centuries, considering the shown fact that perception gadget REQUIRED that each and all the church be bumped off till now ANY of the activities of "Jacob's problem" ought to start. besides the undeniable fact that, it is not supported via scripture IMHO. besides the certainty that, there are scriptures that promise rescue "on the very day" that disaster strikes, and can provide that determine a removal "till now the wrath of God".

Although I'm pentecostal, In looking at the scriptures, there is no proof that Christians will escape the entire Tribulation. The scriptures state in Thessalonians that Lord will come in a twinkling of an eye, and they then use the scriptures which state that we will escape the Great Wrath.
But that does not guarantee that we will escape the Great Tribulation. It only means that God will protect us during this time.

I'm a Pentecostal and all the Church's I've attended hold the Pre-Trib view.

That is true; many our midtrib (or midtribbers as I call them). Personally I hold the Pretrib view myself.
