Baptism and Eschatology
Young Adults Study Baptism and Eschatology
The connection between baptism and eschatology is significant, especially during the pre-parousia reign of Christ. It is assumed some, especially those who teach that baptism in the New Testament suggested the idea of a burial and resurrection.
However, that is not accurate. It is clear from the texts in both Romans 6 and Colossians 2 that the emphasis of baptism is "burial" as implying immersion into Christ.
However, the rising up from the waters of baptism is not what is indicated as the resurrection. This is a significant point on the discussion of baptism and ...

What Is the Connection Between Eschatology And The Faith?
The subject of Christ's return in AD 70 continues to be a major hurdle for believers, especially as it concerns eschatology and the faith. Many are not aware that the faith as system of salvation is achieved only through the consummation of the end times. In other words, it cannot be separated from the coming of the Lord. (Visit the audio page to listen to an audio version of eschatology and the faith.)
To establish our premise that the faith is directly correlated with the parousia, we cite a familiar text from Old ...

Leftbehind and the Tribulation Period
Some of the most popular Leftbehind books on eschatology are based on the mythological teaching of a future Rapture of the saints on earth. The
future Tribulation Period teaching books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have steered so many in the wrong direction regarding the end times.
The idea that God will one day en mass remove all Christians from the earth is totally unfounded in Scripture. In fact, it is diametrically opposite to what the Biblical text says. The principle which must be kept in mind is that we're discussing judgment passages.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, incites emotionally
charged discussions about the resurrection
and the rapture.
Students of John Nelson Darby, credited
with popularizing modern Dispensationalism
cite the text as incontrovertible proof of
the Rapture.
However, these exegetes (scripture
interpreters) violate hermeneutic principles
in their application of the text.
The following demonstrate some of the
errors glossed over by futurists and pre-
tribulation rapture advocates. Resurrection in 1 Thessalonians 4: Are We Who Alive Dead?, addresses the specific audience of the text.
The problem with most interpreters on the Lord's return is that they read themselves versus the audience into the text. We show this
as a faulty premise.
We Who Are AliveAnd Remain
Paul addresses first ...
Rapture Gets Bad Rap

Endtimes online videos: Overview of eschatology and the Rapture as a dubious doctrine. Endtimes video explains in plain language challenges faced with the end time teaching of the Pre-Trib Rapture theory as Bible prophecy.
The Dispensationialist doctrine asserts that seven years prior to an alleged 1000 years reign of Christ on earth, -known as the millennium, saints will be swooped up in a cloud leaving the wicked behind on earth while Christ rules on earth from a literal throne in Jerusalem.
