You are a member of this RAPTURE CAUCUS if you are in support of the Biblical Doctrine of the Rapture, as a separate event from the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (which is to establish the Kingdom on earth).
Seriously, you may want to change the caucus tag to [Dispensational Caucus] or something similar.
I'm all for the thread labels on FreeRepublic, they serve their purpose well when used properly. This, I think, is an improper use.
Every eschatology believes that the Rapture will happen. Just using [RAPTURE CAUCUS] invites all eschatologies' ideas on the Rapture. Later defining the Caucus with - "the Biblical Doctrine of the Rapture, as a separate event from the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (which is to establish the Kingdom on earth)" is now calling all other eschatologies unbiblical and/or heretical which is just begging for the the other eschatologies to jump in and defend.
I suggest [DISPENATIONAL CAUCUS] and define it as a thread for discussing the end times and rapture according to the dispensational eschatology.
You know my position on eschatology, I'm just trying to help you out here.

It may be good to have another and separate thread, apart and separate from this Rapture thread. But, I do think that there are many who do enjoy talking about the Rapture and looking forward to it, and especially so in our present day, on this thread.
I would have to think about another separate thread on another issue, though. I’m not sure about that right now. And today, I’m probably going to be out and about most of the time, anyway. But, I’ll give it some thought about another and different thread.
