Many have also balked at the priority system God seemingly employs: First spirit, then soul and lastly body. Are we not told that if your right hand offend thee cut it off, for it is better to enter Heaven without a hand than not enter at all! TR lf you can get a hold of Clarence Larkin's "Dispensational Truth," his charts and writings, make the pre trib rapture very clear. He also makes clear what the TRUE church is and is not. People are deceived into believing that this church or that denomination is the "true churh" Larkin show in his writings this error and how it condemns many who are relying on their church to show the way to Heaven. There is only ONE church that you need to be a member of before Christ's returns in the Rapture; that you name is written in its member rolls and that admits you to eternal live in Heaven. And that is the church you automatically became a member of when you trusted the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for all your sins, was buried, and raised from the dead for your eternal salvation. (Rom 4:25). This is the true church of the born again saved only, the church of the first born or new born whose names are forever written Heaven. You as a member of this true church are the "Pearl of Great Price" that Christ paid it all with his precious blood to ransom and redeem us forever. (Matt 13) Any other church that you are a "member" of or not a member of cannot save you; that brick and morter church down the street that you joined can't get you eternal life. If you get a chance, look at Larkin's "Dispensational Truth" classic book and the chart on bottom of page 129 where he shows all these man-made churches and denominations thur the centuries like Catholic, Protestant or others will end up being left behind at the rapture if its members and others are not also members of the only church that counts for eternity, the church of the "First Born" (Heb 12:23). Who have been sealed by the Holy Spirit the moment the simply believed the good news gospel of our salvation. (Eph 1:13-24) You will notice in the chart that the church of born again is on a direct path to Christ in the rapture; but all other "churches" fall into the sea of apostacy and fall short of the glory of God. You will note that the darkest shading is given for the RCC, not surprising, as well as all cults. There is a similar larger chart (the failure of Christianity) on p. 78 of this same book. Again, people have been deceived thru the centuries into believing that this "church" or that "church" is the "true church." The devil has done a masterful job into getting people to blindly follow the teachings of men as truth, instead of what the word of God in the Bible says. Phil
