I'm with you on that one. I do believe the church will be spared the "wrath of God." However, I believe the "wrath of God" is the last half of the 7 year tribulation and begins basically at the beginning of Revelation 7, which also describes those raptured.
I am a "mid-tribulationist."
'Course, I could be wrong? 8^>
I don't know what I am .. I just know GOD's word says that as a Christian I have "not been appointed unto wrath". I guess I take that literally. I don't expect to be here during the tribulation which is the pouring out of GOD's wrath upon the heathen. But .. I could be wrong.
