Though he's sure to face a firestorm from pre-millennials, the affable Caldwell seems unfazed by the technology's semblance to what eschatologists such as Hal Lindsay and Chuck Missler refer to as the mark of the beast in Revelation 13. "Look, I'm a classic dispensationalist myself, but I see it as a win-win situation. We either continue at the cutting edge of contemporary ministry, or we trigger the rapture and bada bing, we're outta here, brother!"

Does this not say it all? We trigger the rapture? Do you see how far man-centered theology, under the likes of Pelagius and Arminius, has come? It's hardly suprprising, moreover, he embraces an eschatology that goes along with such wrong theology.

Oh, I missed something:

We either continue at the cutting edge of contemporary ministry

Notice the nonchalant acceptance of the humanistic idea of inevitable progress, guided by evolution. These poverty-stricken souls are probably so steeped in entertainment pop-culture that they don't even see this.

I was reading this just awhile ago! It's a mighty proud statement to think that any of us are going to "trigger" the "rapture".

I'm a little amazed that 15,782 people submitted to this. Of the (maybe) 300 people that I know who worship regularly at our little church, I can't think of one who would willingly submit to something like this.

VERY strange.

I'm gonna check this out! I don't believe it. However, it's between this man and His Lord. We don't all Serve the Same God-Lord-Creator.

Some people make up their own gods and laws!

Hey folks! I ran the name across the internet, there are a few dozen websites sharing this story. I also tried to track down the town online, there isn't alot online about Crocketts' Bluff.. however it does exist...

I also called the directory, and the church isn't listed in the town or the surrounding cities? Anyone know if this is a true story or not???

No Christian can 'trigger' the Rapture, except it be by witnessing to the last person to be saved as a Christian ('until the fullness of the Gentiles be brought in'-Rom.11:25)
