Hi

Thought I'd introduce myself here...

My name is Nigel. I was brought up in the Brethren denomination and stayed with it until my early 30's. I now attend an Elim Pentecostal church.

A cyber-friend recommended this site to me. I thought I'd join as some of my study for the time being will be on eschatology issues. I've found that the pre-tribulation rapture viewpoint a less common one, but have concerns at the way it is sometimes disparaged, something that makes discussion unnecessarily contentious.

Oh, and before anyone asks, I'm not Russian . My ID is the surname of one of my favourite ice skaters of recent years, Alexei Yagudin.

Welcome aboard. I pray your stay will be edifying and mostly glorious to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I am one of those who holds the "less common" viewpoint of pre-millennial pre-tribulational rapture.

Until recently, I simply did not realize that seems more and more to be a minorty view, but that is ok, until someone can give me any strong evidence to the contrary, I have no intention changing my position on it.

Anyhow, that is beside the point, and certainly not worth arguing over.

Love in Christ,

Jim

Welcome also, Brother!

If your are looking for a place where there is lively discussion, you have certainly found one. I don't know how much eschatology you might learn, but you will definitely learn how to express and be examined about your own ideas.

By the way, I'm in Florida, and I am looked at by my Baptist brethren as some kind of freak when I say I am not sold out on the pre-trib theory. There are just not enough answers to my questions. Maybe you can answer a few. But this is for another thread.

Again, welcome and hope to get to know you.

Thanks for the welcomes.
