What We Believe

THE RAPTURE – THE BLESSED HOPE

We believe that, according to the Word of God, the next great event in the fulfillment of prophecy will be the coming of Christ in the air to receive to Himself into heaven both His own who are alive and remain unto His coming, and also all who have fallen asleep in Jesus (John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:1618; 1 Corinthians 15:42- 44, 51-54); that this event will be premillennial (before the Millennium) and pretribulational (before any part of the seven year Tribulation) (Revelation 3:10); that it may occur at any moment; that this event is the blessed hope set before us in the Scripture, for which we should be constantly looking (Titus 2:11-14); and that at that moment the dead in Christ shall be raised in incorruptible, glorified bodies, and the living in Christ shall be given immortal, glorified bodies without tasting death (1 Corinthians 15:42-44, 51-54; Philippians 3:20-21).
