NOTE: One is not rapture ready until the completion of step #3

The logical conclusion of this view is that NO ONE from Pentecost until now will make the rapture other than those who have followed the 3 step plan.
Oh, I don't know about that last little dig - friend.

I am a tee-total three stepper. All I know is what I see in the word that Peter preached at Pentecost. I just preach what's there. I'm not God, and it would be foolish of me to question his plan.

I have never been in the business of deciding who will be in Heaven, and who will be in Hell. There is only one Judge. I'm not him. So, I'll just keep on preaching truth, and leave the saving up to Him.

Before I turn in, let me say that this is a good point that no one seemed to jump on, and it leads me to ask...

Remembering folks that I am of the 'PAJC' view, if we all get the same results, is it that important at what point salvation takes place?! Are we reaching too hard for the differences rather than building on that which we agree?!

Wasn't that the idea when two groups merged in 1945 and agreed to disagree around a "fundamental doctrine statement" and allowed both views to be presented in their new magazine called "The Pentecostal Herald"?

That is the "fly in the ointment" of the whole discussion and has been for quite some time. The problem is, IMO, the that some of the PAJC'ers polarized so much that they could no longer tolerate the PCI'ers, so the "exlax contingency" (AS) was executed by those who felt the urge to purge.

No dig, friend! That is an Epleyism.
