[color:"blue"]But, in all honesty, I do not believe I will ever change my mind on Disp, Pretrib., Premill. theology.



I don't see how you can't. Sufficient answers, as Pilgirm noted, have been provided that Refutes Disp, pretrib secrect rapture ever since papa J. N. darby came on the scene with dispy in the early 1800's. Even Ladd's book(who's premil himself) devastates that system IMHO opinion. Exegetical issues aside, even the history of invention of the system shows that it is shaky...
How Can the Church be "Waiting for this secret pretrib Rapture",which will not happen at "2nd coming" according to that system when PAUL himself says to the church in the Book of 1 Cor. to "eagerly [color:red]WAIT for our Lord Jesus Christ to be REVEALED" (1 cor 1:7) ? [scriptures are clear that this is the 2ND coming]. Also, you did not answer my question on what is the "2nd coming" according to what you believe. Link : 2ndComing

I pray that your study goes well on the 4 or 5 point issue, and that when you get to the study of the 2nd coming,dispy vs. covent. ,etc. that you will study it objectively.

God bless
