Belief in the Rapture or disbelief in the Rapture does not affect my salvation in Yashua. I do not care one way or other if people go around starry eyed believing they’re suddenly going to be shot up in the sky ... to me the whole thing is a scam by Satan to get your mind off Yashua and ignore what you are as a Christian and your purpose on Earth which is to glorify Him and witness for Him.

The oft preached expectation of escape from real tribulation can also lead to many souls becoming disillusioned when it comes, which is what i read happened in China when the Boxer rebellion came, as Christians had been told such would not occur before the Lord returned.

And what’s happening to Christians under ISIS rule - do they believe they’re going through the Tribulation?
