"TO GERRY ALMOND:   The Laodicean Believers Are Not Given Immortal Bodies At The Rapture of The Bride of Christ"


This is in reply to your 9/03 post THE GREAT VIRGO SIGN HERALDS OUR RAPTURE (fivedoves.com) in which you stated
the following:

"It appears that we will likely have a September rapture/harvest of souls event. This means, if it happens, that the Laodicea Christians will be transformed at the same time that we, the Philadelphia Christians are raptured. The Scripture for their transformation is I Cor. 15:52ff and the Scripture for our rapture is I Thess 4:16ff."

The transformation of believers' bodies into immortal, incorruptible bodies after the dead in Christ are resurrected (1 Corinthians 15:52-53) is reserved for those believers abiding in Christ who are alive and not for the Laodicean type believers who the Lord has spewed out of his mouth according to Rev. 3:16 who are lukewarm believers who have no white raiment according to Rev. 3:18 as the bride of Christ does.  According to Rev. 3:19 the Lord tells them, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."  If they don't repent before the Rapture, He will come like a thief in the night and they will be left behind.

If anything the Laodicean type believer will be weeping and gnashing their teeth as they are cut asunder. I believe that Matthew 24:48-51 and Luke 12:45-47 are referring to these Laodicean type believers in the verses below:

Matthew 24:48-51, "But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Luke 12:45-47,
"But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes."

The key to this whole thing is true repentance before the Rapture takes place in order to receive an immortal, incorruptible body when the Resurrection-Rapture happens. Any Laodicean type believer repenting after the Rapture will have to resist worshipping the image of the beast and be killed in order to end up in heaven.  Either that they may very well die of starvation, famine, war, pestilences, etc.
