>>The rapturenauts teach that Jesus is not really King of kings and Lord of lords until after the second coming.<<

As always the deceit of Satan wants us to think that other then what the Scriptures teach. Let’s see what the Bible says about the influence of Satan in this world still.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Does that sound like Satan no longer has power on earth today?

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

rulersof the darkness of this world” Does that sound like Satan may have some control as ruler of this world?

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

“the god of this world? Now seriously. Why would Paul claim that Satan was the “god of this world” if Satan has been bound and no longer was controlling things here?

Know your Scriptures before using Satanic tactics to confuse.

As always the deceit of Satan wants us to think that other then what the Scriptures teach.

So, in other words, you don't believe that Matt. 28:18 is true today, nor that the Church is called to follow Christ's command in vv. 19 & 20. Is that it? You don't believe that Jesus has the power to desire to see a nation like Israel converted to the true faith of Abraham by a peaceful means, that is, by the preaching of the gospel under the power of the Holy Spirit.

You confuse the limited deceptive powers of Satan with the “all Authority” of our Lord Jesus Christ. You give Satan far too much credit for what he is able to accomplish. It's Jesus who's all powerful, not the devil.
