Someone on this website recommended downloading the free book Beyond the Rapture by Gary T. Whipple which I did and have been reading it. This book presents the idea of a three-part rapture and resurrection process that is well documented with Scripture and is logically consistent. Basically he says our spirit is eternally saved when we accept Jesus as our savior and we can never lose that salvation--it is permanent.
 
Further, our soul must yet be saved after the spirit is saved by dying to this world as Christ did, i.e., our soul must die to the world, as we do things for Christ here in this life. At the Judgment Seat after the rapture the Church will judged based on our soul works, while saved spiritually. Finally, the Church will be bodily saved and transformed into glorified bodies (the out-resurrrection) to rule and reign in the Millenial Kingdom.
 
These beliefs are consistent with my own and those I discussed some time ago by Lyn Mize in his book The Open Door. His thought was there would be a two-phase resurrection where only those who produced fruit (works) after salvation of their spirit would be allowed into the Kingdom after the first-fruits resurrection to rule and reign as joint heirs. Others who did not do works after salvation will be allowed into heaven later, but would have to lose their souls in the early part of the tribulation before being allowed to be part of the Kingdom at the main harvest resurrection at the mid-point of the tribulation. Somewhat different from Whipple but similar in the general theme that not all of the Church is ready at the rapture and the Judgment Seat for immediate entry into the Kingdom.
 
I enjoy reading this book and would like to thank whoever it was that recommended it.
