You can actually in good conscience call Zeke out for this and not call out Nikos for doing the exact same thing? Nikos posting things like 'deceived' in regards to there not being a pre-trib rapture? If you were going to write this you should have written it to both. Unless of course you believe in a pre-trib rapture then I can understand you only calling out one side. This is the kind of post a liberal would make about a conservative, obvious double standard. :)
Ezekiel 33 (11-17-2022)
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
(Ephesians 4:17-18)
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
(Psalm 1)

Ezekiel 33 (11-17-2022)
Nah bro, no "badgering" just a spirited discussion that has been taking place for a long time. No harm intended.
I would just like to encourage someone who is so entrenched in any given doctrine to be able to lay out a clear case from scripture in context and not fall back on what this teacher or that teacher has to say. I love brother Nikos. I love his heart for the kingdom of God. I don't care if someone wants to believe in the pre-trib rapture THEORY. It is not a doctrine that should cause brothers to part company (Like Paul and John Mark). It is a good subject to sharpen some iron on is all.
Nikos, I apologize if I have caused you any heart-burn over all this. Not my intention.
God bless.

I want to thank godismyjudge and others for their comments on this discussion. I am not surprised at Ezekiel 33's comments, however, I am surprised at fuego's comments. I decided not to debate this subject but just respond with some videos on the subject. It seemed to irk Ezekiel 33 but as I have stated I do not want to debate this subject as it has been debated ad infinitum and thus no reason to.
I have toned down my comments here on the forum and do not wish to change back to the 'good old days.'

Mat 25:13 Therefore keep watch, BECAUSE you do not know the day or the hour.

This is what i believe.
This is an excellent teaching.
12 Reasons I Believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture – Ed Taylor
Since I am ordained with the Assemblies of God, I officially am a Pre-tribber. On the other hand, I live in the midst of prophecy being fulfilled in Israel and I can see the storm clouds of the Gog and Magog war. So, in a fit of honesty, I have to admit that I wonder if the first part of the Tribulation has already begun.
My bottom line is that it is necessary to be righteous in the midst of evil times and keep looking at and listening to our beloved Messiah.
