Hello, John and Doves,
 
For those who do not "get it" before the Rapture, there is still a chance to be saved.
 
I'm talking about those who have given mental assent to the idea of Christianity,
but have never gone so far as to welcome the Savior, Jesus Christ [aka Yeshua Ha Mashiach] into your heart as LORD.  He is our one and only, for it is written,
    "For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
1 Corinthians 3:11  KJV
 
Anyone who wants to elevate mere man's work to the level of scripture is trying to lay a new foundation.  Scripture as it is, is all sufficient to save.
It is written,
    "ALL Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
    "that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."
2 Timothy 3:16-17  ESV
 
How to be saved:
 
1.    Confess your sin.  1 John 1:9
 
2.    Repent from your sin.  Acts 3:19
 
3.    Trust Yeshua Ha Mashiach, El Immanuel, ADONAI Tsidkenu as your LORD and Savior.
 
4.    Live by faith.  Galatians 3:11
 
It's just that simple.  After all, it's all about love.
 
It is written,
    "We love because he first loved us."
1 John 4:19  NIV
 
After you have been saved, then
    "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
2 Timothy 2:15  King James 2000 Bible
 
And remember, whenever you ask someone a question (as on the Five Doves site), be a Berean.
Look in the Canon of Scripture to see if what a person says is so.  Be careful not to assume.
When you assume and do not prove, then you are only showing that you care neither for yourself, nor anyone else.  What's the solution?
 
Jesus said to His Apostles,
    "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."
John 14:26  NIV
 
 
Baruch HaShem Adonai Roi,
