>>Speaking of New Age do you ascribe to the "Ring of Fire" that is currently the rage after the dismal failure of fellow evangelical Harold Camping?<<

Nope. Complete nonsense.

>>The magic number is 188 days and so on (9/15 or 9/16) some earthly catastrophe perhaps even the rapture will occur

Nope. Complete nonsense.

>>If the rapture happens, which one of your buddies is most likely to go<<

I have no idea. Only God knows their heart.

>>and just the Catholics be admitted or just a few of your type and Catholics and a few of the others or some other esoteric combo<<

Only those who are written in the Lambs Book of Life. Those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and savior and don’t rely on their own human effort.

>>How do we address you if it is you who are left behind ?<<

I’ll be gone so don’t worry about me. Those who are left behind will need to read Revelations.

Is the Lambs Book of Life that you mentioned the same document that is reviewed on the Day of Atonement each year to ascertain ones place on the road to eternal salvation?

On admittance to eternal salvation you stated "Those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and don’t rely on their own human effort" How then does this correlate to James 2 14-17. Surely your interpretative skills can reconcile this apparent contradiction between your words and the Words of Our Savior.

Now that you agree the rapture/dispensation/ Harold Camping are complete nonsense would you care to make a prediction on the end of times?

If as you say "Only God knows their heart" how much of an allowance does He make for faulty interpretations and is there a pass fail grade given by God for erroneous interpretations?

If as you advise "Those who are left behind will need to read Revelations" doesn't this advice seem questionable as Luther wished to excise this work from scripture. Why read a book the reformers felt not inspired Are you advising these to swim the Tiber?.

Do you have "Gnosis" allowing for such enlightenment exceeding the majority of humanity. Inquiring minds want to know.
