Tribulation Children?

Q. Thank you for you website, it has been a blessing for me and my family.  I think we agree that all children under the age of reason will be taken in the rapture and that children will be born in the millennium to those who survive the tribulation, but what about during the tribulation. Will children be born during that seven year period? Read Post »

More On Speaking In Tongues

Q. I have always heard that speaking in tongues in the evidence of the baptism of the holy spirit. My Mother has never spoke in tongues but I am sure she is spirit filled. I know she is very shy and feels people are always looking down on her. Because of her my brother and sister are saved along with many of my extended family on my fathers side. She wants to have a prayer language. Also I cannot find the verse in the bible that states that speaking in tongues is evidence. Thank you so much for your help on this. I love reading your website. It has been alot of help to me. Read Post »

Can A Believing Spouse Save An Unbelieving One?

Q. I have a friend who is a devout Christian, but worries that her husband may not be saved because he believes what Billy Graham teaches, that there are other ways to salvation besides Jesus, like being a good person, etc. Is there any place in scripture that because a married couple are “one” the one saved automatically brings salvation to the other?

Worship In Heaven

Q. I have learned a lot from your site and i thank you for it. I have heard or read that we will be praising the Lord forever and ever when in heaven.

I am a born again Christian and have been for many years.  I love the Lord and I know he is the only answer.  however, I know how God loves a humble heart and can’t stand people who are high on themselves. By us worshiping God forever and all the time, is God saying he wants us to be humble but yet he covets all the worship all the time? Read Post »

Who Is The Bride? Follow Up

Q. If there’s no difference between believers as far as being the Bride is concerned, what heavenly benefit is there for those who love the Lord so much that they want to please Him and be “after His own heart”…as He describes King David….versus someone who just stays a baby Christian and never comes to know Him in a very personal way?

Establishing The Beginning Of God’s Wrath

Q. With respect to God’s wrath, I find myself struggling with it’s beginning.  I shouldn’t – because I have no problem seeing the Church in Heaven in chapter 5!  And if Revelation is truly chronological – which I have no doubt it is – then the wrath must take place in six.  Yet, when I go back an read Rev 6:12-17, it really sounds like the Lord’s wrath begins after the 6th seal (or depending on some accounts, the 7th – which means Chapter 8 kicks off the wrath after the half hour of silence).  If either is the case, and assuming the Tribulation (70 weeks) kicks off after the first seal, then the Church wouldn’t be taken until some time into the Tribulation.  Could you please elaborate on this?

Who Is The Bride?

Q. I’ve recently heard a well known teacher who claimed that at the rapture some of us will become the bride to reign with the Lord, while others will either be consigned to the outer darkness or to Gehenna.  Do you believe that the entire church is the Bride or just those who endeavored to mature and press in to God?  Will you sight scripture please?

Regarding Psalm 103

Q. Great web site! Regarding Psalm 103:1-5:

Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Is it common sense that he heals all our diseases and restores out youth in this life?  I see no evidence of that.  Could it be that this is a promise for our future in our resurrected bodies? Read Post »
