He taught that these "holy" people would be in the rapture. He taught that the "righteous" were those who walked in all the light they had. These would be resurrected at the second resurrection or white throne judgment and, if they lived up to all the light they had, they would have eternal life on the new earth "wherein dwelleth righteousness." He also taught that the wicked were sinners who did not attempt to serve God and they would go into the lake of fire at the great white throne judgment.
I heard him teach this.
How many preachers in the UPC have sat under Bro. Norris and received this teaching? It has permeated the UPC.

My father attended ABI under Norris in the mid 50s. I'm going to ask him about this.
