First I do believe fully in the sanctity of the believer.....that's a settled matter....so as you mentioned .."Snooze you loose" doesn't fit my postion.

As for the seven churches.... Revelation does not include Colossae, Miletus, Hierapolis, or Magnesia.... The seven named are chosen ‘to symbolize the whole Church’...and do a fabulous work of denoting such. Therefore All believers learn and are able to see themselves in these 7 churches that represent the whole.

As for Dispensationalists or others who categorize themselves....I simply stand on what I know from scripture...I don't follow a certain popular or unpopular position though some have shared on FR my position leans toward Dispensationalist.....

I think mine does too, but I am not hyper dogmatic about it, anymore than I am dogmatic about what I think concerning Genesis 6, even though I have my own opinion about it. There is one thing, however, that I am completely, extremely, totally, absolutely 100% dogmatic on, that I am NOT willing to remotely compromise on, in any way, shape or form. That is the plan of salvation, by faith alone. I would suspect you are just a little dogmatic about that too. 😂😇😎

that seems incongruent with the warnings to watch.

Unfortunately that is not taught in the scripture. Do you know where that tradition comes from ?

That seems unlikely to me; are you pre, mid, or post tribulation regarding the rapture, and how could you know that, while there is such a wide body of opinion and teaching,without simply following someone else's teaching ?
