"Re: Luis Vega (16 Nov

https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/nov2025/luisv1116-7.htm
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
