Next, I was impressed that the Lord was saying through the cloud of witnesses that He was pleased with the fact I am teaching His prophetic Word at this crucial time so near the end of the Church Age. But, the cheering of those young witnesses isn’t for me only—rather for all of us who are remaining faithful to preach, teach, write—present—the prophetic truth.
Additionally, the impression upon my spirit is that heaven is pleased that we are teaching the premillennial, pretrib Rapture. It is confirmed in my spirit that this is absolutely the true message the Lord wants disseminated. Again—it isn’t just for me I’ve been given this affirmation, but for all who hold to, preach, and teach the premillennial, pretribulation Rapture view from God’s Holy Word, the Bible.

Can you give me chapter and verse where the word "rapture" is written?
You do realize all that rapture shit was made up about 100 years ago, right?
"Againit isn’t just for me I’ve been given this affirmation, but for all who hold to, preach, and teach the premillennial, pretribulation Rapture view from God’s Holy Word, the Bible."
The posttribulation rapture True Belivers from Gods Holy Word, the Bible want a word with you.

Funny how it's always a "crucial time" and it's always "near the end of the age". It seems to have been so for hundreds of years. Especially in the last hundred years, it seems to have been "a crucial time" almost constantly.
This boy has cried wolf too many times.
"It is confirmed in my spirit". Well, that's it, everybody. Down tools. Terry has received an impression in his spirit. Better do what he says.
And I personally know someone who said that God revealed to him a post-trib rapture. He was telling the truth just as much as you.
In case you don't understand simple English... both of you are full of utter bullshit .

To be fair, most fundies honestly believe those feelings inside of them. To them it is most definably a real and true event. To the extent that they would pass a polygraph test if asked about the feeling.
Just because those feelings and voices in their head are based in confirmation bias and ego, instead of supernatural origin, does not make them appear any less real to the faithful. Hence when they profess to experience them, they are not lying, merely misinterpreting their own feelings.

Pretrib Rapture Pride
by Bruce Rockwell
Pretrib rapture promoters like Thomas Ice give the impression they know more than the early Church Fathers, the Reformers, the greatest Greek New Testament scholars including those who produced the KJV Bible, the founders of their favorite Bible schools, and even their own mentors!
Ice's mentor, Dallas Sem. president John Walvoord, couldn't find anyone holding to pretrib before 1830 - and Walvoord called John Darby and his Brethren followers "the early pretribulationists" (RQ, pp. 160-62). Ice belittles Walvoord and claims that several pre-1830 persons, including "Pseudo-Ephraem" and a "Rev. Morgan Edwards," taught a pretrib rapture. Even though the first one viewed Antichrist's arrival as the only "imminent" event, Ice (and Grant Jeffrey) audaciously claim he expected an "imminent" pretrib rapture! And Ice (and John Bray) have covered up Edwards' historicism which made a pretrib rapture impossible! Google historian Dave MacPherson's "Deceiving and Being Deceived" for documentation on these and similar historical distortions.
The same pretrib defenders, when combing ancient books, deviously read "pretrib" into phrases like "before Armageddon," "before the final conflagration," and "escape all these things"!
BTW, the KJV translators' other writings found in London's famed British Library (where MacPherson has researched) don't have even a hint of pretrib rapturism. Is it possible that Ice etc. have found pretrib "proof" in the KJV that its translators never found?
Pretrib merchandisers like Ice claim that nothing is better pretrib proof than Rev. 3:10. They also cover up "Famous Rapture Watchers" (on Google) which shows how the greatest Greek NT scholars of all time interpreted it.

And it's the end-timers that have grabbed onto Ushers chronological gimmick, a 6000 year old Earth, debunked and ignored by most denominations but taken fully on by them only during the last century and mostly the last 50 years JUST to push evolution away.
Being young denominations without an old documented doctrine gives them this mercural doctrine that seems to be rewritten every 20-40 years which will adopt any urban legend into it to stay popular. Nessie for existance, Nessies real to fundies because they think it (somehow) suits their purposes.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
