Just wanted to share with you all, try and watch it without a preconditioned belief of filter. Look up the Scriptures that he gives and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal truth.

I believe in a pre-tribulation rapture for those who are saved and living a pure lifestyle, but here is what I believe God would have me to say regarding this doctrinal controversy. Stop worrying about pre-trib, mid-trib and post-trib and be ready for the rapture whenever it occurs, as Jesus will come as a thief in the night when we least expect it.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:34-36
What is important to see here is that not all are going in the rapture. If you are living in sin when the Lord returns, you will be left behind. You will not escape those things that shall come to pass. You will not be counted worthy to stand before the Son of man. If everyone that ever got saved was going to be taken out in the rapture, regardless of how they live, there would be no reason for this warning. He would just say believe, but that is not what Jesus said. He warns us about how we live. He says we need pray always that we would be "accounted worthy to escape." If you are saved, many teach you are accounted worthy automatically, but that is clearly not what Jesus taught. If you are saved and watch how you live and pray always, then you will be accounted worthy. We are spending too much time worrying about unnecessary issues like precisely when Jesus will return. Just know that he is coming back, and we need to realize it could be at any time. It is on God's timetable, not ours.

I agree with you about how we are to live, but there is no such thing as being "left behind". That is just not scriptural. We should prepare ourselves to go THROUGH THE GREAT TRIBULATION... it is like preparing for a great big storm coming.. it is not wasting time if we are being prudent to prepare ourselves. When I talk about preparing ourselves, it is about preparing ourselves SPIRITUALLY. I am not worried about you John but there are many out there that are riding the fence and they have not trimmed their lamps, they will run out of oil. They will not be prepared in their hearts, minds, souls, spirit for the unleashing of the wrath of the enemy in the great tribulation. God will help us through it but if they are not walking already with the Lord, spending time with Him in the Word, they will not be ready. I hope that you will still watch the video and then you can make your rebuttals.

I hope that you will still watch the video and then you can make your rebuttals. I got the impression from the beginning of the video that this guy was one of those Apostolic preachers that teaches you are not saved till you are baptized and speak in tongues. I could have taken him wrong, but right off the bat, that was enough where I couldn't take him serious. Do you know anything about him, other than having watched this video? If I took what he was saying wrong, I will make time to watch it all the way through.

I don't know about him and the salvation with the tongues, but I was just studying the the end times part that he is talking about. I am still on the fence about the speaking in tongues part, it does say that these are the signs that follow them that believe, and tongues is part of it in Mark 16. Jesus could not go about and start His ministry until He received POWER from the Holy Spirit... so I don't know, I just put that issue aside and is just going about the lesson of the end times....this preacher does study from the KJV...

Okay. I will still try to find time to watch it all the way through.
