The Pretrib Challenge

Do you believe in the pretribulation rapture? Take this challenge...

The Second Coming of Christ is so important to the life of a believer that it is mentioned nearly 400 times in scripture — more often than the need to be born again, more often than the need to be baptized, more often than the process of sanctification. The need to be born again, the need to be baptized, the need to be sanctified are clearly, unambiguously laid out in Scripture. Therefore, we would expect this event, which is mentioned 10 times more often than these put together, to be unambiguously laid out in clear, direct scriptural references, as well.
