The above is a summary only and there a number of iterations of each "camp."  |
WOW. Thanks! You would have thought there would have been 20 pages on this topic by now with all the opinions this message board has to offer. Never the less, I now understand.
However, my only question for the 1 step is, if you are rapture ready at repentance (step 1), why MUST you then continue on to steps 2 and 3?????????? Or does this 1 step view only accomadate people that are on their death beds, sorta like "death bed salvation" where you repent and then die and now one is rapture ready......hmmmmmmm.
