Re: Carson Verhulst and all Doves:

 

I agree with you that there will be two raptures: Firstfruits and Main Harvest. These two raptures are for the Bride of Christ and the remaining Body of Christ, respectively. The First Fruits rapture takes place first (the date may be Pentecost) while Main Harvest takes place at mid-Tribulation.

 

The First Fruits rapture is for those who are walking with the Lord and doing all they can for Him while still here. Each day they confess their recent sins and praise God each day. These are the believers called the Philadelphia Church in Scripture.

 

The Main Harvest rapture is for those who are in need of refining before being taken away to be with the Lord, without death. They are the believers in the Laodicean and other apostate churches.

 

Lyn Mize has an excellent explanation of the two raptures and why they are described in the Scriptures by Jesus and the Old Testament prophets.

It explains what we all must do to try to qualify to be taken in the First Fruits rapture as the Bride of Christ.
