Dear Luis,

Your post and the accompanying audio are all over the place. Nowhere do I see a clear declaration of the true Gospel for the Age of Grace. Perhaps it is not declared because the whole argument of having to earn the Rapture would then fall apart. In your article the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Grace are not being rightly divided.  I think the wrong question is being asked. Perhaps "believers" left behind were not saved in the first place. For example if I believe I am saved because I gave my heart to Jesus then I will definitely be left behind. What happened to the "Blood"

Another thing not being addressed in your lengthy article is what about believers saved in the age of grace who have died but did not live up to your standards. Paul clearly states that we & them are caught up together. The judgement of our behavior takes place after the rapture, not prior to or at the same time as the Rapture. Otherwise there would be a bunch of zombies walking about during the Trib.

So, I am not saying to study only Paul's Gospel although even that is acceptable. It is good and right to study all of God's Word but context is everything. We should not be so self centered as to think that every word is being directly addressed to us. If this were so then we all would have to sell everything and own nothing!! Luis, have you sold all your earthly belongings? Recently I heard a sermon where verses were cherry picked in order to control behavior and the context was completely destroyed. So, in order to truly understand what was being said in the cherry picked verses I had to pray and consult other sources to truly understand what God was saying in His Holy Word.

So, be careful my friend, it is better to live and spread the true Gospel for our age than to go into a lot of "what ifs" that in the long run can only cause confusion in the Body of Christ.

Be Blessed,
Mike P
