From: North Red Bank Baptist Church http://www.NRBBC.ORG There are those who have Rapture anxiety and they blame us who talk about it. Let me say we who believe in the Rapture did not invent the Rapture, it is a Bible Doctrine, a God ordained event, 1 Thess. 4:13-17. Praise the Lord for those who talk about the Rapture and if you have anxiety about the Rapture seek the LORD through the Gospel, He is coming to catch away those who have believed in Him. Don’t miss the rapture! If you are prepared for the rapture, you are prepared for eternity http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=264422&view=post&blogid=8648 Sat, 26 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Who are the many sons of Hebrews 2:9 -12. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=264424&view=post&blogid=8648 Sat, 26 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Our Hope is Christ and He promised to come for the believer, John 14:1-3. I want to caution our church family not to get caught up in setting dates. His coming for us in the Rapture! And the rapture is in the Father’s Hands. In my understanding of 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. We have long since been in the window of the Rapture and we are waiting in this period of His longsuffering to us-ward, but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Man cannot set dates because no one can measure the depth of His longsuffering. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=263050&view=post&blogid=8648 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Rapture is a wakeup call. It is a warning to the world, the tribulation is at hand, 2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. The Rapture says something has changed. Things are not continuing as normal. The Rapture precedes the tribulation. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=263053&view=post&blogid=8648 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Our message to all who will hear is to be ready for the rapture, Luk 12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; Php 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Php 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262941&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 "Who hath saved us" The uniqueness of our salvation is seen in that which God has already provided, 1Jn 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262943&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Song of Solomon 6:2-3, My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. Son 6:3 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. This is an expression of love initiated by the believer to which The LORD responds. But yet I do not see this happening in the church today. Rather than coming to Church with acts of faith and worship and to stand in awe of the LORD. We come to church with a spirit of division, jealousy, and a root of bitterness, Psa_36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. Heb 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262947&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The signs of day of the LORD takes place at the end of tribulation, Mat 24:29 -31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. And the Day of the LORD continues to the Battle of Armageddon. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262701&view=post&blogid=8648 Thu, 8 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 If you go into eternity by the rapture or by death it is important to be following Christ, Mar 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. Mar 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Mar 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Mar 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. Mar 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262684&view=post&blogid=8648 Wed, 7 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The material needed to build a church is in the believer. Because that is the plan God chose. [Eph. 4:11-16]. Paul was always preaching and teaching the believer, Col. 1:27-28 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: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262653&view=post&blogid=8648 Tue, 6 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Nothing like this has ever been in human history! Since the Lord is doing all this within them, it seems perfectly reasonable that He will remove the sin nature and give them full knowledge and ability to walk in perfect righteousness.} Conclusion they will go alive into the Kingdom without the sin nature. There will be multies of Jews and Gentiles saved during the tribulation . [see Judgment of sheep and goats]. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262639&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 5 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 This ESG report will affect every part of your life from food, to your finances, to how you live. It is already affecting farming, cattle ranches, [they do not want you eating meat] and the food chain by making it impossible to grow food because ESG regulations. The coming famine will the direct result of our own doing in turning from the LORD and with the voice arrogance proclaiming we will build back better. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262640&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 5 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 But what about the believer [us] in the pretribulation days?  We are facing the rapture of the church. The church is the Body of Christ.  The rapture and the tribulation are inevitable on God ‘s timetable.  Our victory is won or lost in the mind, 2Co 10:4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 2Co 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;  http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262641&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 5 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Even though they repented God did not allow them to go on, and here is why: e.g. Numbers 14:5-28. The dividing line is at the age of 20 and up would die in the wilderness, Num 14:29  Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, Num 14:30  Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. [ i.e. 31-38] http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262642&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 5 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The word lost and perish are translated from the same Greek word. Ap ol loo mee It is used ninety-two times [92] in the N.T. Only seven of the ninety-two times does it refer to being eternally damed. And six are found in The Book of John. Thirty-two of the 92 refer to physical death. [i.e. John 6:12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. It does not mean the bread is consigned to hell but rather not to be wasted. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262643&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 5 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Hebrews 2:9 has the same truth as Rev. 1:5, 6, And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Rev. 1:5 is past tense, "unto Him who loved us" but it has a present tense meaning, "Unto Him who loveth us" it is an ever-present love. The Love of God shown at the Cross is the same love that reaches you, John 3:16 http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262644&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 5 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Notice the LORD ties receiving to believing. The one who receives Him is the one who believes on His name, but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, to them that believe on his name. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=262646&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 5 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -0400 We only think of grace in its relationship to salvation and that is a critical error in thinking. Grace is from the word graciousness. It is the Spirit’s influence on the inner man, Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=260754&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Judgment awaits every born again individual at the judgment seat of Christ. And He wants every believer to hear the words "well done;" therefore, He moved the author of Hebrews to structure his argument around five passages of strong admonishments. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=260756&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation;? He is speaking to us in the Church age. He is warning the believer in the church not to neglect our great salvation. The importance of this doctrine is seen in the seven letters to the seven churches. In every letter he encourages the believer to know Christ in the power of His resurrection as our Living Saviour. And there is a promise made to the overcomer in every letter http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=260757&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 We must always remember Israel is the wife of Jehovah, God the Father and we are the Bride of Christ to be the Lamb’s wife, Revelation 19:7, Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=260758&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 I think it is very important to try and wrap our brain around eternity. No time exists in eternity. But yet there are verses that give insight to this endless eternity. Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=260759&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The JSOC is established in the Word. It is mentioned by name in Romans 14:10 and 2 Cor. 5:10. And it is referenced in many places in the Bible. Col. 1:27-28. 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: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. sheds light on Paul’s use of the word terror in 2 Cor. 5:11. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;…." http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=260760&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Why did the LORD say in Heb 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Answer: In a real way, every time we sit before the LORD in wordship, we evaluate our self. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=260761&view=post&blogid=8648 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 When failure touches our life or the life of others, we withdraw ourselves as if God has failed or that His Grace is not sufficient. It is amazing to me that we preach salvation by Grace through faith [ and even that faith is not of ourselves] and in the same breath preach salvation by works, you must keep yourself saved by works or the theology that if you were really saved you would not have done that. http://www.NRBBC.ORG/Bible-Studies?articleid=257855&view=post&blogid=8648 Thu, 12 May 2022 00:00:00 -0400
