RAPTURE READY – Q & A

HOW DO I GET RAPTURE READY?

(1) BELIEVE THAT THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE IS GOD’S WORD OF TRUTH.

(2) BELIEVE APOSTLE PAUL FROM THE KJV BIBLE…

Romans 15:8 KJV: “Now I say that Jesus Christ WAS a minister of the circumcision [ i.e. Jews ] for the truth of God, TO CONFIRM THE PROMISES MADE UNTO THE FATHERS [ i.e. as recorded in the scriptures of the Old Testament ]:”

Romans 15:16 KJV: “That I [ i.e. Paul ] should be the minister of Jesus Christ TO THE GENTILES, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.”

1Ti 1:11 KJV: “According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was COMMITTED TO MY TRUST.”

Galatians 1:11-12 KJV: “But I [ Paul ] certify you, brethren, that THE GOSPEL which was preached of me is NOT AFTER MAN. [12] For I NEITHER RECEIVED IT OF MAN, NEITHER WAS I TAUGHT IT, BUT BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST [ i.e. not from the 12 disciples ].”

1Corinthians 14:37 KJV: “…the things that I write unto you are the COMMANDMENTS of the Lord.”

2Ti 2:8 KJV: “Remember that JESUS CHRIST of the seed of David was RAISED FROM THE DEAD according to MY gospel:”

Ro 2:16 KJV: "In the day when GOD SHALL JUDGE the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to MY gospel."

Ro 1:16 KJV: “For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the power of God unto SALVATION to every one that BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

(3) BELIEVE PAUL’S GOSPEL…

1Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV: "Moreover, brethren, I DECLARE unto you THE GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 BY WHICH ALSO YE ARE SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, HOW THAT CHRIST DIED ((( FOR OUR SINS ))) according to the scriptures; 4 AND THAT HE WAS BURIED, AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY according to the scriptures:" ~Paul, the only apostle to the body of Christ

HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT BELIEVING THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST IS ALL I HAVE TO DO TO BE SAVED?

JESUS INSTRUCTED PAUL TO WRITE TO BELIEVERS…

2Th 1:7-10 KJV: “And to you who are troubled REST WITH US, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; [10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in THAT DAY.”

Eph 2:8-9 KJV “For by GRACE ARE YE SAVED through FAITH; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES: it is the GIFT of God: 9 NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast.”

Ro 11:6 KJV: “And IF by grace, then is it NO MORE of works: ((( OTHERWISE ))) GRACE IS NO MORE GRACE. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.”

Ga 5:4 KJV: “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”

1Co 1:17 KJV: “For Christ SENT ME not to baptize, but TO PREACH THE GOSPEL not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NONE EFFECT.”

Ga 2:16 KJV: “Knowing that a man is NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even WE HAVE BELIEVED IN JESUS CHRIST, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH OF CHRIST, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED.”

Ro 4:5 KJV: “But to him that WORKETH NOT, but BELIEVETH ON HIM [ i.e. Jesus Christ ] that justifieth the ungodly, his FAITH IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

Eph 1:13-4 KJV: “In whom [ i.e. Jesus Christ ] ye also trusted, after that YE HEARD the word of truth, THE GOSPEL of your SALVATION: in whom also AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED, YE WERE SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise, [14] Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption [ i.e. catching away; rapture ] of the purchased possession [ i.e. believers ], unto the praise of his glory.”

2Co 1:22 KJV: “[i.e. God ] Who hath also SEALED US [ i.e. believers ], and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.”

Eph 4:30 KJV: “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby YE ARE SEALED unto the day of redemption [ i.e. rapture ].”

Ro 3:28 KJV: “Therefore we conclude that A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the deeds of the law.”

Ga 3:24-26 KJV: “Wherefore the law WAS our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [25] But after that faith is come, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOLMASTER. [26] For ye [ i.e. believers ] are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”

Ga 3:11 KJV: “But that NO MAN is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

Ga 5:18 KJV: “But if ye be led of the Spirit [ i.e. saved; believe ], YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW.”

Ro 6:14 KJV: “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE.”

Ro 5:9 KJV: “Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE [ i.e. believers ] SHALL BE SAVED from wrath through him.”

Colossians 1:14 KJV: "In whom WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, even the FORGIVENESS OF SINS:"

Ro 5:1 KJV: “Therefore being justified by faith, WE [ i.e. believers ] HAVE PEACE WITH GOD through our Lord Jesus Christ:”

Tit 3:7 KJV: “That BEING JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE, we [ i.e. believers ] should be made heirs according to the HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE.”

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT THE RAPTURE?

JESUS INSTRUCTED PAUL TO WRITE TO BELIEVERS…

Tit 2:13 KJV: “Looking for that blessed HOPE, and the GLORIOUS APPEARING of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”

Tit 1:2 KJV: “In HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, which God, that cannot lie, PROMISED before the world began;”

1Th 2:19 KJV: “For what is our HOPE, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even YE IN THE PRESENCE of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?”

Php 3:20-21 KJV: “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also WE LOOK FOR the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] WHO SHALL CHANGE OUR VILE BODY, that it may be fashioned LIKE UNTO HIS GLORIOUS BODY, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”

1Th 4:13-18 KJV: “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep [ i.e. dead ], that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. [14] For IF WE BELIEVE that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. [15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep [ i.e. dead ]. [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST: [17] THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

1Co 15:51-58 KJV: “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep [ i.e. die ], but WE [ i.e. believers ] SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, [52] IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED. [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. ]54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. [55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. [57] But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. [58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”

WHEN WILL THE RAPTURE HAPPEN?

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for THAT DAY SHALL NOT COM, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, AND THAT MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, THE SON OF PERDITION [ i.e. antichrist; satan ];
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

2Th 2:12 That they ALL MIGHT BE DAMNED WHO BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness [ i.e. being unsaved; being unbelieving ].
2Th 2:13 But we [ i.e. believers ] are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Col 1:26-27 KJV: “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, BUT NOW IS MADE MANIFEST TO HIS SAINTS [ i.e. believers ]: [27] To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of THIS MYSTERY among the Gentiles; WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY:”
