Focus On Rapture

ELIGIBILITY FOR CHURCH RAPTURE

ELIGIBILITY FOR CHURCH RAPTURE

There are two reasons for not participating in the rapture of the church of Jesus Christ:

#1 Lack of regeneration, that is, failure to be born again.

Regeneration means to be born again or translated from death to life.

1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: 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. (NKJV)

1 Cor 15

21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.

 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.  (NKJV)

Luke 13

2 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things?

 3 “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.

 4 “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem?

 5 “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” (NKJV)

#2 Defilement of the Temple of the Holy Spirit

Defilement is the term used to describe filthiness arising from iniquities that give birth to spots, wrinkle and blemish in the body of a born again Christian, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 6

15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”

 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

1 Corinthians 3

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.  (NKJV)
