Future Events

The Rapture

The Rapture is the next event in the prophetic calendar.¹ This is the snatching away of the church.² At the end of the Dispensation of Grace, the Church will be snatched away by Christ and presented before the Father.³ At this time all believers who are a part of the Body of Christ will be resurrected and receive their full redemption (Spirit, soul and body). The believers that have not physically died at this time will pass over death and receive their resurrected body and the redemption of their soul with the believers that are resurrected from the dead.⁴ This event may happen at any moment. The Scriptures do not elaborate on the exact time when this will happen, except for stating that it will be prior to the tribulation.⁵

The Tribulation Period

This is a seven year period of time that follows the snatching away of the Church. During this time, the Dispensation of Law is judged and the wrath of God is poured out upon the earth. This will fulfill the prophecy of the seventieth week in Daniel 9. The beginning of this time is marked by the signing of a seven year covenant of peace with Israel.⁶

The Second Coming of Christ

Christ will physically return in judgment to the earth at the end of the Tribulation Period and set up His kingdom on earth for one thousand years.⁷

Satan and the Fallen Angels

Satan will be bound for a thousand years at the beginning of the […]

The Origin and Nature of Humans

The Origin of Humans

Adam was both formed from the dust of the earth and created out of nothing by God¹. Adam’s body was created out of the dust of the earth and his soul and spirit were created out of nothing². Adam was created; all other humans were procreated from Adam and Eve³. When Adam was created, he was created in the likeness and the image of God⁴. Adam was created complete and in the likeness of God immediately without process.

The Body, the Soul, and the Spirit

Humans are tri-partite⁵. They have a body, which is the physical flesh. They have a soul, which is the center of his emotions⁶. They also have  a spirit, which is the part of them that is able to rationalize⁷. The place where these three parts come together is referred to as the heart, which is where the determinate will of a human is formed⁸.

The Present Condition of Unsaved Humans

All humans possess a sin nature and are totally depraved⁹. All unsaved are spiritually separated from God, because of Adam’s trespass and sin. They all physically die because of Adam’s sin¹⁰. They are not able to receive the things from the Spirit of God because their minds have been darkened¹¹. The Gospel for salvation is foolishness to them and their minds have been darkened to this Gospel¹².

The Present Condition of Saved Humans

Saved humans still possess a fallen nature. However, they also possess a new nature, which is a quality of the Divine Nature

The Church (The Assembly belonging to God)

The Church

The Church is made up of those who are in the body of Christ¹. The Church began on the Day of Pentecost². The Church is only for those who are of the Dispensation of Grace³. Christ is the Head and the saints are the Body⁴. Through the Church, God shows to the principalities and powers His manifold wisdom⁵.

The Purpose of the Local Church

A quality of the body of Christ is represented in the gathering together of the saints. The purpose of the assembling of the saints in a local church is to teach, and edify the saints⁶. Each local church body is autonomous in its daily affairs⁷.

Membership in the Local Church

Only those who base their salvation on Christ’s death for their sins and resurrection from the dead three days later and have been baptized (immersed) in water are eligible to become members of a local church

Leadership Positions in the Local Church:

Bishop

The Bishop or Pastor is a male who has been given the Spiritual gift of pastor even teacher gift and qualifies according to Scripture for the office⁸. This position is to guide, feed and guard the local assembly. The leadership of the Bishop is solely in the realm of teaching and therefore has no right to govern over the local church

Sin (Lawlessness)

The Origin of Sin

Satan is the originator of sin¹.

The Definition of Sin

Sin is lawlessness. When someone knowingly does something that ignores the standards that God has set for them to live by, they are sinning². Sin for a Christian is anything that is not done out from faith.

Through Sin, Death Entered the World

Adam’s trespass caused spiritual death and his sin caused physical death³. The sin and trespass of Adam were imputed unto all mankind, therefore all mankind is spiritually dead in sin and all are dying physically⁴. Prior to Adam’s sin death was not know in the world. Only the Christians that are physically alive at the time of the rapture will not face physical death. These Christians will pass over death into life ⁵.
