It seems to me that after seeing your explanation,we have arrived at a similar end result but from completely different beliefs about the scriptures. Because I do believe that many will find answers in the scriptures you mention, (Hebrews through Revelation), after being left here when the rapture is over. I nevertheless believe these are also written to exhort us today and in no way does aplying these teachings to us today "pervert" Paul's gospel but rather serve to warn us should we not obey fully that gospel. It is my belief that to fully benefit from Paul's gospel one must fully submit to it.John 12:42. Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43. For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.Luke 9:62. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
To come only part way is to be in Jesus' words "luke warm" or to mix any false doctrine with truth makes complete error and is dangerous ground as well. Satan is currently seeking whom he may devour, not will do so during the tribulation only.The scriptures that I see as warnings to people now that they might avoid the tribulation altogether by being raptured, you say are written to exhort these people after they are become tribulation saints:________________________________"When God completed the Bible he also put in the books for the people living after the rapture of the church. These books are very clear when you realize who they are talking to. Starting with the book of Hebrews and going through Revelation you will find those books very interesting as long as you apply them to who they were written to. Romans through Philemon are written for us today."____________________________________Not sure how you came to your conclusion on this but I don't share your view on it. For example, I believe Peter is exhorting us in how to be ready to be raptured in this passage:2 Peter 1:8. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9. But he that lacketh these things is blind, [Laodicean Church] and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."Entrance ministered abundantly" sounds like the rapture before the trib, not dying during it. Peter is speaking to the brethren as a whole, in my opinion yet he clearly contrasts them and places them into two groups; those who have "these things" in their lives, and he listed what they are, and those who lack these things. He says that those who lack these things are blind which Jesus said was one of the Laodicean Church's characteristics. Jesus clearly is telling the Philadelphia Church in Revelation 3 that they will be raptured while warning other churches that they will be staying for the tribulation if they don't repent. How can you believe that this is not for us to apply to our day?To me the danger of believing as you do is that one can feel very confident in their readiness to meet the Bridegroom only to discover upon His arrival that they are not ready but their lamps are gone out and the darkness they find themselves in is the same as being blind to the truth. Then while they are gone to buy oil or "anoint their eyes with eye-salve" so that they can see the truth, the door will be shut and now they must endure the test of the tribulation and be faithful unto death in order to get in to heaven. Had they heeded these warnings sooner they might have avoided this.Also to me the difference between testing and tempting is that testing, which God does subject us to, is looking for a positive outcome by withholding certain things from us to see if we will trust Him for our good, which He provides as reward for our faith in what He promised and passing the test leads to greater faith and more knowledge of God. While tempting is always to do evil and to make us doubt and draws us away from God and comes only from the evil one with the desire to see us fail and be condemned.
