However, a lot of the preconceived ideas about these scriptures found in I Cor. 15 has to do with rapture theories which are many. But, if you read the scriptures here, you will find nothing that actually suggests a rapture. It is only when you tie those scriptures to other scriptures that support a theory do you come to this conclusion.
While I believe in a rapture of the church, some of our ideas about it are almost too ridiclous to keep from ROFL.
So, there is a change coming. Why does it neccessarily have to do with the rapture. There is none that I know of. A change is coming. Soon, men and women, every man in his own order, are going to start coming into immortality much like the catapillar emerges from his cacoon on a bright, glorious sunshiny day. Not all are going by the way of the graveyard...we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. When the change is upon us, it will be instant.

This all seems so dark...
My question is where? Where are these God-less preachers who will all fall into immorality?
You must preach in and fellowship with some pretty messed up people because I do not see this happening among the ones I fellowship. They have a strong heart for God! Our youth just got back from youth camp with Victory Christian Center here in Tulsa....they had three nights of "face on the floor crying out to God"...they left every service late in the evenings drunk on the Holy Ghost....several got the Holy Ghost for the first time....lives were CHANGED alright--but not like this thread!
Is the Apostolic movement in that bad of shape since I left?
