Personally I never watch Van Impe
any more -- haven't for YEARS [whenever someone says that Muslims, Catholics,
Christians -- we all worship the "same God" ~ then ooof, they've lost me as a
viewer!!] Granted there are "some" REAL Christians among Catholics, but I'd
rather expect that's the minority who are saved IN SPITE of what they believe,
rather than BECAUSE of ...... but then....I digress!!
Back to your question: Ask 10
different ppl... you'll get 10 different answers! :)
It's ALWAYS BEST
to depend 100% on God's Word -- not what man says!!
And should a person still choose
to gamble ~ hmm.... always better to gamble on a SAFE bet!!
Just a sampling of what God's Word
says:
** Church of Laodecia -- the Lord
will VOMIT out of His mouth!! [into the tribulation.... to wash their robes
THEN......]
** the 5 foolish virgins aren't
going anywhere ~ they are not presently known by the Lord
** We're reminded in Luke 21 to
PRAY ALWAYS to be "accounted worthy" to ESCAPE these things ~ and to stand
before the Son of Man...... sure does not sound that everyone will be accounted
worthy.... otherwise why tell people to PRAY for it!!
Is there anyone (even one who
calls himself "Christian") who has a LIFESTYLE of PRACTICING these
things:
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident,
which are: adultery,fornication, uncleanness,
lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred,
contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions,
heresies, 21 envy, murders,
drunkenness,
revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you
in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom
of God.
If so -- these people will not be
*going anywhere* when the rapture trumpet sounds! In fact, they will miss out
on heaven entirely, unless they repent of these sin sick, self-indulgent
lifestyles....
REGARDLESS OF WHAT
**ANY** preacher or teacher says...... always, always, ALWAYS go by THE PURE
WORD OF GOD!!!!!!
Why would the Word tell us
(from Titus 2): denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present
age,
Here's some Bible teaching
which may further help you.... [Note: While I highly recommend the first two
I'm giving here, but I cannot personally vouch for ALL of these sites, as I
simply do not have time enough to read every single one of them..... there may
be something that I may agree with ~ say 99% of it, but then some little
something thrown in that I do not... So basically what I'm saying is: pray
for & USE discernment!!]
Blessings &
Maranatha!!
