I never said that Peter Ruckman said anything in regards to the MOTB. I did use a direct quite from him to demonstrate that he believes that people in the Tribulation will be saved, at least in part, by works. This is a dangerous and heretical teaching. John McArthur, I agree, has stated that you can take the MOTB and be saved which is absolutely false. Probably has something to do with him being a Calvinist and believing the elect could take the MOTB. Both are false and dangerous teachings. Indeed, all struggle with their sin nature and continue to fall short! God's power is able to save when men cannot! And God's grace will lead us home! Again, to stop sinning against God is a primary motivation for my looking forward to the Rapture! Oh wretched man that I am! TR Tribulational salvation will absolutely be faith plus at least one work - total and absolute faithfulness and enduring to the end, which means not taking the MOTB. This act of disobedience is very much a work. Once the Lord calls us up in the air, the dispensation changes and the rules are different. We are blessed beyond measure to live in this age and it's about over. Multitudes will be saved, and it will be made clear to those who will call on the name of the Lord. Amen, Tammie. Beautifully said and my prayer would be for the Church to SEE these things around them as a shadow of Jacob's Trouble. If they did, perhaps they'd work harder and cry for the lost. It has always been by salvation by Grace, through Faith, through Christ alone. No one has ever deserved salvation. It has always been by God's Grace. No has ever earned their salvation. It has always been by Faith. There is only one Saviour and that is Jesus Christ. That is the way it has always been and the way it always will be. To say that someone could be saved, even in part, by works is heretical. I thoroughly reject the Ruckmanite teaching that says that Old Testament Saints were saved by faith + works, Tribulation saints will be saved by faith + works and people in the Millennium will be saved by works alone. 
I too am thankful to be living in this age and our “hard stuff” is nothing in comparison as we are just witnessing a small taste of what’s to come. Satan, using BG and many others is working fast to kill humanity and destroy Gods creation— But GOD, almighty spoke and creation began, so too, once again He will only speak and all will be made new and the evil of this world will be NO MORE for eternity :yahoo: Our God is greater than all, the Alpha and the Omega and everything in the middle with no end. Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord! :prayer-hands:
