If you believe the rapture must take place BEFORE the mark of the beast, and you take it believing this cannot possibly be the mark, then you will damn your soul for all eternity.
If you are not open to the possibility that your pretrib rapture could be wrong, RE: my last post, it most assuredly WILL become a matter of salvation.
God’s people are not under God’s wrath- the tribulation is a pouring out of God’s wrath on the ungodly- the bible states as much
No way would I take the mark of the beast. This is something that cannot be taken unknowingly. Our God does not operate that way. But thanks for your concern.
Once more, with feeling:
God will not send ANY believer the strong delusion so that they will believe the lie. Period, end of item. There is no “Whoops, they tricked me and I took the mark so God has to damn me now” moment coming for any gospel believer. Our eyes are open and we see.
If your scenario happens, they’ll be disappointed perhaps but because they know and love the truth as it is in Jesus, they’ll be victorious in Him even if their head ends up on, the chopping block.
Rapture teaching never has pretended that believers aren’t called to suffer martyrdom. It does insist that believers aren’t appointed to suffer God’s end times wrath. Sounds reasonable to me, but don’t quote me (I’m not as settled on end times events as some).
