The Post-Rapture Survival Guide

[Sid]

The purpose of this manual is twofold:


First of all, it is to warn those who receive this manual prior to the "rapture" of the soon to occur events that will take place in the "last days" as foretold in the Bible. Based on what the Bible has to say about future events, nobody in their right mind would want live on earth after the rapture. Hopefully many will read, believe, seek God, repent and be saved.


Salvation is very simple, so simple to attain that most people cannot accept it.


However, it is complex because it is life changing and based on that which we cannot see; it is based on faith. Simple, because Jesus does all the work. If you want to be saved and have eternal life, simply pray in belief and humility to Lord Jesus:

"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and ask you to forgive me of my sins and prepare for me a new heart. I surrender my life to you."

Now change the way you live your life so that it is in accordance with God's laws.

If you have done this prior to the rapture, get a Bible and start reading and studying it. Go to the Lord in prayer every day asking for guidance as to how to live.


Second, to those left behind after the rapture, this is indeed a survival manual. You still have an opportunity to repent and have eternal life. The same prayer of salvation is applicable to you; the only difference is that you will spend a little time experiencing a taste of hell while you remain on earth.

Let me be really frank with you. If you are reading this manual and the rapture has already occurred, then you probably are not going to physically survive; you most likely will die. This manual is about the survival of your soul. You are going to go through terrible suffering. The only question is whether you will go to Heaven or go to hell when you die.




After the rapture - what now? (http://www.bereanfaith.com/articles.php?action=article&id=2)

[Sid]

But, supposing I don’t make the Rapture, what happens to me then?

Well, I suggest you watch the news very closely. For suddenly the most amazing man will appear on the world scene, charming everyone, promising world peace --- the most charismatic leader, after Jesus Christ, the world has ever known. Very quickly, he will become THE world leader. Who is this fellow?

We first meet him in Revelation 6:2 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%206:2;&version=49;), And I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him; and he went out conquering, and to conquer.

This is the Antichrist. He is a real charmer, and why not, Satan is his lord and master. After quickly charming the world, he will sign an agreement with Israel guaranteeing them seven years of peace. Satan is a wily one, for he knows that, from the signing of that covenant with Israel, he has only seven years left to win the eternal war of the world.

But, you and I know that he has already lost that war. The signing of that covenant with Israel starts the seven year Tribulation clock ticking.

That sounds like works. Left to myself, I CANNOT change my life. It is Through Jesus I live. I am NO LONGER UNDER the LAW. I live under GRACE by FAITH. NOT by Works as this portrays. I FLEE my OLD LIFE, I FLEE my SINFUL ways. ONLY through Jesus and the CROSS can man be made worthy to stand before the Throne of God:pray::pray::pray: and EXPECT GREAT THINGS.

Sid is not talking works. Trust me, as an ex Catholic he is opposed to that thinking.

He is talking sanctification, which we are commanded to learn, pursue and do. He is correct.

> CoreIssue... How can you speak for Sid? He posted that quote. It CAN NOT be said any CLEARER. "Now change the way you live your life so that is in accordance with God's laws". That my friend is "WORKS". No other way to explain it. Christ is the "ALPHA and Omega" with SIN ALSO. If Christ lives in us and we in Him, we are NO longer under the Law. No one, NO NOT one, CAN live in accordance with God's LAW.

> You "speak" in "ALL your posts as the FINAL Authority. "Trust Me", "He is Correct". "You are Flawed , you speak Darwinism, Calvinism, ism, ism, ism". Under who's Authority do you pass Judgement or speak for others?
> I stand by my post to you about your "DISSECTION" of post's of which you have disagreement with. Once you finish with your knife it is humanly impossible to recognize, let alone rebut or clarify. The Poster is so exhausted from your "BEATING" they either throw up their hands in submission or they disreguard thier search for the truth. How do you know that poster is not a child in Christ? In Search of direction or clarification? A non-believer searching for Salvation, questioning his learnings of the world?

> CoreIssue, NOT all who walk these pages are on the same intellect level as you, in their walk with Christ or Temporal education. I sense you are a learned individual, therefore not all are as well educated as yourself. I also realize that having Dialect of this type can be very very deceiving . Some have difficulty with the typewriter, some have difficulty in portraying their thought into expression that is easily and correctly translated by another.

I have known Sid for years.

Obviously you do not know the difference between salvation and sanctification. Sid is not talking about salvation.

Rewards are earned via works, in example.

Not all of Jesus' speeches were filled with love. A good number of contained condemnation and when he returns he will slaughter millions. The true best description of Jesus is Just. He is Just in his love, mercy and condemnation. They are not alien concepts to each other.

It is an issue of study and earnest learning. Nothing more.

While you are getting annoyed with me realize you are stepping out making pronouncements yourself. Don't go there, as so many do, when you speak it is truth and when I speak is something else.

Just some things to think about.

I am a teacher, it is one of my gifts.

I started this forum to do what others do not, as in allowing disagreement and debate. I do not demand anyone conform to what I believe, which very few allow.

All I require is proof of argument, or at least an earnest effort to do it. Not preaching or pronouncement only.

The Gospel is central and THE essence of reality for us. The rest is sanctification (growth).




SAD, so SAD, why would I think a Pharisee of today would be any different than a Pharisee in Christ's day? The SIN of "Arrogance" is the same today as yesterday as tomorrow.

I will Pray for you.

[CoreIssue]

Bible defense please. Not your opinion.

CoreIssue's Quote: "Obviously you do not know the difference between salvation and sanctification. Sid is not talking about salvation.
Rewards are earned via works, in example".CoreIssue Quote

Salvation is the being SAVED from my sin by my LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST
.
Sanctification is one performing "WORKS" in order to be made holy.

You, my friend Can Not have it both ways. Either he was talking SALVATION through Jesus Christ by "FAITH".

Or he was talking performing a Ritual's (WORKS) to be made holy?

I argue using not only his words but yours also, "Rewards are earned via WORKS".

The REWARD of SALVATION is through JESUS CHRIST and JESUS CHRIST ONLY.
What other Reward would a lost sinner want? Except to know that although I deserve DEATH, I AM SAVED by GRACE through my "FAITH" in CHRIST JESUS".
Jesus was the FINAL Sanctifing act (The LAST BLOOD OFFERING for man's SALVATION).

How much more SIMPLISTIC can the Salvation message be?

[IGoSlo]

NOT my opinion, Your own words JUDGE YOU. NOT me. Go back and read I, I, I. There are more I's in there than in Mississippi.

[CoreIssue]

Try again on defining sanctification as well as using the word holy. Your wrong.

No one is speaking of salvation by works.

To discuss any issue you first must get the meaning of the terms correct.

coreIssue, please remove me from "ALL" membership and listings to "YOUR" FORUM.

Your Arrogance has left you in total DARKNESS.

I WILL PRAY for your judgement that it be filled with Mercy from a GOD whom is merciful...

Having made posts here I will not remove your name but I will kill your email address so you get no contact from us.

You never answered the question of what you meant by an Elite, but obviously you consider yourself one.

Your very judgmental. Where I challenged your doctrines we disagreed on you challenged my right to even question you and my salvation, or that of any else who disagreed with you via your Conditional Salvation beliefs.

If you want to come back and actually have a Biblical discussion and debate based on proofs from the Bible, you are welcome to do so. If you come back and attack anyone you will be banned.

You still didn't answer the question.

Nowhere in the Bible does it call us elite. We are saints, blessed, chosen, God's children and more. But never are we called elite.

Your Arrogance has left you in total DARKNESS.

I WILL PRAY for your judgement that it be filled with Mercy from a GOD whom is merciful...May your judgement be as merciful as the judgement you have shown...

NOT once have I attacked... I have exposed FALSEHOOD and DECEPTION by a few... I have listed FACT when asked...
Is that considered "Attack" now?

I'm sorry, I forgot, When dealing with "LIBERALS" exposing falsehood and deception is attack...

[CoreIssue]

You have spewed a lot of attacks based on how you personally believe everyone should act. No verses to back them up, just preaching.

You were warned and now you are gone.
