Robin:

Growing up in the ELCA I never heard anything about "the Rapture", "the Antichrist", "the rebirth of the Nation of Israel", or premillenial eschatology. It was only when I started attending a "christian" high school where they had daily chapels regarding the we're going to be raptured at any moment that I started believing it. I remember asking one of the assistant pastors at my church about this and he didn't know what I was talking about. Which because of my indoctrination at the "christian" high school made me think that I was in a unchristian church.

This caused me later to leave the ELCA for a non-denominational church that taught Scofieldism as the only method to interpret the scriptures. (I still have the tapes somewhere.) It wasn't until I read "Dispensationalism rightly dividing the people of God" that I was exposed to the truth. From there I discovered the Reformed Theology and the rest is history.
