secret rapture
 

Do you believe in a secret rapture? (NO, I do not)

Re: secret rapture
 

No, Sis Alvear, I have never seen Bible evidence of a "secret rapture". What I have read points to the fact that God doesn't have to "steal way" His bride. He purchased his church and there is no reason for Him to have to sneak away what is rightfully His.

I don't Sister Alvear, I think we will all hear the trumpet.

Re: secret rapture
 

I see so many of those little rapture pictures just wondered if I am alone in not believing in a secret rapture...

No

If all those people suddenly disappear surely some of them will be missed and their leaving/disappearance would not be a secret.

No, I never have.

I used to as a young believer. Further examination revealed a GLORIOUS VISIBLE COMING.

7: And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8: In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10: When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 2 Thess. 1:7-10

Re: secret rapture
 

I like your words, "glorious visible coming" to me it seems that the rapture is like a climatic event of all the Bible. It is hard for me to conceive that the grand finale of the power of God is going to be hid.
