Death–Salvation–Judgement

  1. Death – Body still on earth. At the end ALL bodies to be raised/resurrected — good AND bad, see John 5:28-29; Matt 25:46; I Cor 15:20-58 and I Thess 4:13-18 and 5:23.
  2. People in heaven – spirits/souls (without bodies) of dead Christians are alive in heaven at throne, Rev 4:2; 20:4-6; Rev 20:11-15. See for clarification Ecclesiastes 12:7.
    1. Absent from body present with the Lord—saved, I Cor 4:16-5:11.
    2. No condemnation (sin condemns) because of Christ, Romans 8:1.
    3. All will have works “judged,” but not their salvation. Already saved by grace. See Eph 2:8-10!
    4. At the Lord’s return we receive a new body, I Cor 15:20-28 and 15:35-58, esp. I Cor. 15:51-53
    5. We will rise to meet him in the air, I Thess 4:17.
  3. Judgement –Matthew 25:31-46 is General Judgment (Keeping in mind Deut. 29:29). God doesn’t tell it all here!
  4. Condemnation — Lost – judged (condemned), John 12:48-50; See also John 3:16-19.
  5. RAPTURE? FALSE teaching – idea that will Jesus’ return to reign for 1,000 literal years from Jerusalem.  B-C-V? NONE!  I Thess. 4:13-18 – The imagined “rapture” passage proves the RAPTURE DOCTRINE is FALSE!
  6. TRIBULATION? Jesus said in John 16:33 that we are in “tribulation” as long as we are on this ball of earth. No special tribulation is coming.
  7. Jesus can never set foot on this earth again as King, BECAUSE:
  8. Jesus reigns forever IN HEAVEN
  9. As king.  11:15 and 4:2
  10. As priest (after the order of after Melchizedek as Jesus cannot be a priest at all on earth because He is not a Levite, Heb.8 :4 Heb. 7:21; 8:4)by Ivy Conner
