We Pentecostals/Born-Again Christians believe that one day Jesus will come back again "in a twinkling of an eye" and will take His "beloved". My belief is that these "beloved" are those who "heard" "the call" to "renew your minds", "repent" and "accept Jesus" as your "personal Lord and Savior". This belief in itself draws a lot of debates/argumentations. Nevertheless, salvation is personal, i.e. individual, and it's a relationship me and God alone preserves.
Another belief associated to this "one day" is termed "rapture" - exhibited by an abrupt disappearance of Jesus' beloved. I can imagine the chaos it will bring to the world. It will be the greatest headline the media will ever have. Much greater than the Manila Bus Hostage Taking Crisis, much major major than Ms Raj's major major statement.
While the world is in extreme chaos, there stands a great question: how about those who believe in the Christ which are left behind?
I don't want to be left behind. Do you want to experience being left behind? How then can we keep our living aligned to Jesus' expectations so when that "one day" comes we get "raptured" and spared from the last days?
