I am not familiar with the host of this program, so I cannot vouch for his other teachings, but in this particular helpful critique of pretribulationism, he covers a lot of ground in this video. It’s worth watching all of it. Related articles: Does the Absence of the Word ‘Church’ (Ekklēsia) in Revelation 4–21 Support […]

Calvary Chapel: When You Encourage Your People to Study the Bible ‘Verse-by-Verse’, Don’t Be Surprised When They Discover . . . Prewrath
I have heard this story many times in the last 20+ years, especially from Calvary Chapel goers (I say “goers” because for some reason CC does not believe in local church membership). Here it goes. Calvary Chapel, indeed, should be applauded for encouraging their people to study their Bible closely, verse-by-verse. But what happens so […]
Calling All Calvary Chapel Prewrath PASTORS
There has been a groundswell of Calvary Chapel church-goers who are embracing prewrath eschatology in the last decade. A very encouraging phenomenon! If you are a CC pastor who is prewrath and would like to connect with other CC prewrath pastors please contact me. Also if you are not a CC pastor but you know […]
(VIDEO) Audience Member Stumps Thomas Ice with Question at a Debate | Midwest Prophecy Conference, Calvary Chapel, Lafayette, IN
There was a recent debate at the pretrib 2017 Midwest Prophecy Conference, Calvary Chapel, Lafayette, IN: “Is the return of the Lord imminent?” between Dr. David Lehman and Dr. Tommy Ice. Both debate participants are pretrib; the former, however, denies imminence and attempted to argue that you can deny imminence and affirm pretribulationism. This is […]

Only “saints” that are pretribulationally raptured before the seven-year period will be exempt from God’s wrath! Those “tribulational saints” who “grew up in […]

I critiqued his misunderstanding of the imagery of the seven seals that he thinks is staggered inside the scroll, rather than all on the outside of it. For […]
Greg Laurie: Letting go of the Gospel of Christ, but white-knuckling his pretribulational theology

No Signs but Signs – A Major Inconsistency on Imminency with Pretrib Teachers
Pretribulational eschatology teaches that the rapture is “signless” or “unannounced,” while the second coming will be preceded by signs and thus “announced.” There cannot be any intervening prophetic events or signs that will occur before the rapture. Hence, it can happen at any moment. If just a single, biblical, prophesied event happens before the rapture, […]
A Glaring Contradiction in Calvary Chapel’s Pastor Jack Hibbs Pretribulational Rapture
I could cite many other pretribulational teachers committing this all-so-common inconsistency in their rapture theology. But I will use Jack Hibb’s statement as representative. On a recent program of Jan Markell’s Understanding the Times with Jan Markell, her guest Jack Hibbs repeatedly stressed the “imminency” of the rapture that he claims will be “unannounced” that […]

He believes the church will be raptured before the Antichrist emerges. He painfully confuses the event of the Antichrist’s great tribulation with the day of the Lord’s judgment. I pointed […]
Calvary Chapel Pastor David Guzik Cancels Plans for the Rapture Debate
Last year, Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara Pastor David Guzik communicated to me his willingness to participate in a public moderated rapture debate: Pre-trib vs. Pre-wrath. Some of you wanted to know what the status of it is. I am sorry to announce that it will not happen. Guzik and I were planning a debate in […]
