Here is one very fundamental too for The Revelation: to whom is a passage referring, where is that reference directed (on earth or to those already in Heaven) and for what purpose is God referencing these 'raised dead'; the ones resurrected at the end of the Age, after Jesus has set foot again on the earth and destroyed the armies sent to annihilate Israel, and proclaimed the end, these being resurrected ARE NOT THE EKKLESIA OF THE CHURCH AGE. They are those who refused to trust in/believe in Jesus as The Deliverer, and the Jews who were hidden for the purpose of saving a living remnant to repopulate the Earth.
One second AFTER the Rapture, there will be not one believer on Earth. BUT, during the tribulation period, a number so great no man could number it will get saved and show up in Heaven. But there will be a stubborn group who will refuse to call upon Jesus for deliverance. At the Great White Throne of Judgment, the Church is not standing for judgment. That 'judging' (really, evaluation) took place in Heaven.
I agree wholeheartedly...My point is that no one (or very few) can reconcile all of the scriptures pertaining to salvation and numerous scriptures have to be thrown out on one side or the other to justify their belief...
