I always thought that when God gets up to judge those left behind have no chance to salvation?

Question

now after watching those left behind movies i am sort of confused. Can anyone tell me what the deal really is on those left behind after the rapture?

Answer 1

Some Bible interpreters believe that there will be no second chance for salvation after the Rapture. However, there is no place in the Bible which says this, or even hints to it. There will be many people who come to Christ during the Tribulation. The 144,000 Jewish witnesses (Revelation 7:4) are believers. If no one can come to Christ during the Tribulation, then why are people being beheaded for their faith (Revelation 20:4)? I see no passage of Scripture which argues against people having a second chance after the Rapture. I do see passages which indicate the opposite.

A variation of this argument is that those who have heard the Gospel and rejected it before the Rapture cannot be saved, but those who had not heard the Gospel before the Rapture can be saved. I do not find Biblical justification for this view. Granted, most who were hard-hearted to the Gospel before the Rapture will likely be even more hardened after the Rapture. The antichrist will deceive many (Matthew 24:5)! Many will believe the lies (2 Thessalonians 2:11). At the same time, I find no Scriptural evidence that those who rejected the Gospel before the Rapture have no opportunity for salvation after the Rapture.

Answer 2

Left behind are the people still here after the rapture. Everyone left still has the opportunity to accept Jesus. The only people that will not go to heaven are the ones that take the mark of the beast or anti-christ. These people knowingly accept the anti-christ as the true god and worship him even though this is really satan. The anti-christ is the person that signs a 7 year peace treaty with Israel. After 3 1/2 years he turns on the Jewish people. At the end of the 7 years Jesus returns to the earth for good.

Answer 3

We are ALL Children of God. God will not leave one behind....God walks in compassion always. It is religion that walks in fear, guilt and shame.

Perhaps, let us look at the rapture as symbolic, and not literal.
The rapture happens when we are given spiritual understanding, and are able to understand spiritual perspective. This means, that we must leave behind our human perspective, and be ready to know another way to think and behave. This is what Jesus taught.

We are all on different spiritual paths, sort of like school. Some graduate from high school, some from college, and others continue to learn their entire lives. We do not have to be guilty, or fearful.....we just have to decide if we will serve our own selfish interests, or if we will allow the spirit to show us something new.

Answer 5

it is a big lie that God will not leave you behind, he has given you enough time to repent and follow him now, and see what people are saying, they believe they can just enjoy and sin now and they will still go with people who are striving to be like christ now, unbeilivers will get a 2nd chance and that is if they repent and give their lifes to christ, but there will be trials and tribulations and God will judge those who didn't still believe after the rapture, read the bible for more info. jesus christ is coming soon, there will be a rapture!!!!

Answer 6

AnyBody can Still Accept Jesus as their Saviour,
After the Rapture (changed in a Twinkling of an Eye).

Answer 7

Couldn't leave anybody behind not if it ment harm , if it's just an alternative it would be a choise but not a choise that would do you any harm ,, can't happen ,, God is unable to,,, how does that quote go jesus used ,,cant serve god and satan at the same time, I know that isn't it exactly but , it's words to that effect.. matthew chapter 6 verse24...God can't hert you ...It can't be done , Positive canot occupie the same place as a negative at the same time .. it cannot happen, its basic physics. as Einstein would have said Therefore it makes sence...

Answer 8

based on the story, the ones left behind will still have a chance to go to heaven if they accept jesus as their savior... the ones raptures only get to miss the "mark of the beast/ cannot buy cannot sell/ reign of the antichrist" part

Answer 9

First, Left Behind is fiction!

Second- You're thought of God, leaving others behind, is selfish. He loves everyone.

Answer 10

OKAY!

Wen Jesus comes, he comes with his rewads those who were with him all along get their reward according to what they did on earth.these people.. we call the saints there will be 144,000 of them..[pretty small number huh?]
then there willbe those left behind then the tribulation happens and whoever then belives that GOd actuall really exists and believes that Jesus is their savior... they go to heaven
So when Judgemnt day comes, only those who are in the tribulation will be judged. The ones who as i said before belive in GOd, they go to heaven the rest go to eternal damnation.
