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.
