I am thinking people like Benny Hinn (who has more problems than his eschatology). He is for all intents and purposes a pro-Israel dominionist, but believes in the pre-trib rapture. To quote him "there won't be one saint of God raptured out of a wheel chair". He is not one you could plant in the camp of dispensationalism because of his dominionist preaching.

Why would they need to believe in a pre-trib? I have no idea. I'm not one of them. Seems inconsistent to me.

Number one "inventing" is offensive language that I would ask you to refrain from. It is a theological belief we have and you don't. Vitriol doesn't help us have what is turning out for the moment to be a civil discussion.

Second, God's dealing with Israel is one reason for the Rapture. The second is the protect the Church from His wrath. We aren't subject to His wrath because Christ took His wrath for us. Doesn't mean we won't have persecution here and now. But God see's us as pure and justified, and there is no need for us to be subjected to His wrath at all as it is poured out on the earth.

Is that the best you can do? I thought you have someone serious in mind. I wouldn't be surprised if Hinn believed Israel was made of chocolate donuts.

Perhaps that's because you don't know any.

Number one "inventing" is offensive language that ..

What term should I use to describe a position that appeared out of the blue with absolutely no pedigree attached?

Second, God's dealing with Israel is one reason for the Rapture.

God is dealing with the remnant of Israel today, just as He has been for 2000 years since the resurrection of Christ.

According to Paul that proves God's faithfulness to His promise.

The second is the protect the Church from His wrath.

Protection from whose wrath? So you really do believe that 2/3 of the "chosen people" are going to be exterminated by the wrath of God in the future?

Part of your problem is seeing the "great tribulation" as still future and still to be poured out on unsuspecting Jewish people.

I need to see verses for all this stuff.
