This is in reply to your 9/07 post How will we know why? in which you stated "I really, really, hope that the doctrine of a partial catching away, is not correct, because I'm greatly concerned that I'm certainly not a good enough Christian to merit it!"

Do you think that the Laodicean type Christian described in Rev.3:14-21, who the Lord Jesus spues out of His mouth will be raptured to heaven without repenting of their sins? Below is a list of sins of those people who will not inherit the kingdom of God:

Galatians 5:19-21, "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

1 Corinthians 6:9-11, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."

Do we not have Christians in our latter day churches who have not repented of murders (abortions)? Do we not have fornicators, adulterers, and abusers of themselves with mankind (homosexuals) in our latter day churches who have not repented of their sins along with all the other sins listed in the above Bible verses? Since Jesus will spue them out of His mouth meaning "to eject or throw out forcibly," it sounds like they will be left behind at the Rapture of the bride to heaven, and will have to go through the tribulation period in which they can choose to repent and ask the Lord for the forgiveness of their sins which is depicted of by them washing their robes in the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ (Rev. 7:14) not worshipping the beast nor taking the mark of the beast in the right hand or forehead in order to buy and sell.  (I just noticed that Rev. 7:14 is a mirror # for  1Thessalonians 4:17 which is a Rapture verse. I certainly hope we don't end up coming out of great tribulation like those depicted in Rev. 7:14.
