Dear TBC, I don’t know why those who don’t believe there will be a pre-trib rapture say that those who do are using an “escape clause.” The timing of the Rapture has never been an exemption from persecution. In John:16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me...Read more

Questions and Responses

Question: Why does Revelation 17:8 (and maybe Revelation 13:8, depending on the translation used) refer to those “whose names were not written in the book of life from the creation of the world...”?

Question: Were Adam and Eve created perfect? If so, how could they sin? If they were created with a will that could choose to sin, how could they have been perfect?

Question: [TBC's] statement that John Calvin taught that Infant Baptism saves betrays a regrettable ignorance of Calvin’s beliefs....I request you publish this clarification of our Protestant, Reformed position.

Question: How can you believe both in God's foreknowledge and that man has the power of choice?

Question: What about the Tribulation saints? How do they get to heaven? Do they have their own rapture?

Question: When the Rapture occurs, will we leave our clothes behind us in a heap where we were when Christ caught us up to meet Him in the clouds?

Question: I’ve been told by a Calvinist that if I’m not a Calvinist, then I’m an Arminian. As a Christian, do I have to be one or the other?

Question: [Many verses lead] me to believe that the rapture (day of the Lord) takes place after the abomination and at the opening of the sixth seal. Am I wrong?

Question: I think it is stunning that...the most influential Christians of the past 2,000 years have been Augustinians...
