Hi Doves,
Our position here for the most part is a "pre trib"
or maybe in some cases "pre wrath" rapture, meaning we
believe that we will be raptured before the AC comes to
power or the wrath of God is poured out on this earth (if
not even sooner). "Post trib" believers on the other hand
believe that the church will go through the tribulation but
will somehow be protected by God through it but part of that
involves them preparing for it now by storing up supplies
and having a place to hide or what have you...
The debate between these two beliefs has been going on
for a long time but never have I seen an actual "debate"
held between representatives of each side going head to head
on it but that is what the above links are to.
Stan Johnson, the leader of Prophecy Club is one of the
leading proponents of the post trib view and has criticized
pre trib Christians as deceived and false prophets etc. But
when given the chance to defend his position he seemed
embarrassingly inept. (Though, we don't actually get to hear
his speeches because the other guy said he never addressed
the subject but spoke on things not pertaining to the
rapture at all so he doesn't include that and we do have to
take his word for that... just saying, but from what we do
see of Johnson, I feel I can trust the word of his opponent.
Stan refused to answer the questions on the rapture put to
him but said instead that he had an agenda of his own that
he wanted to speak on...)
I don't know who this man (Darrell Dumas) is that
debates him but I'd say he won this one.
that while there have been some good speakers on the
Prophecy Club, as always discernment is needed over all.
