Amen. All this "you guys are deceived by the devil because you believe in a pretrib rapture" mess is silly. I don't go around saying that those who don't believe it have a "Rambo complex" and are the ones with the LEAST faith because they wish to hang around to "prove" how tough they are. Heck, why wait for the end; if they want persecution and hard times, go to any Muslim country where it is a death sentence to be a Christian. Why talk all big about how they want to be "left behind"? They can have their "tribulation" now in other parts of the world where Christians are getting persecuted. Guess it's easier to say that when you're in the comfort of your home in America, I suppose. It's ridiculous. It's impossible to predict with absolute certainity about an event that has YET TO OCCUR.
Jesus said to be ready. Period. Whether death or rapture, whenever it occurs, we are to be ready to meet Him.
Deliberately seeking martyrdom is a sin
Counting on being disappeared into heaven before the great deception is a false hope.
