Thank you so much for trying to help me!
I have seen this before and I would expect that calling someone a heretic falls under general religion forum rules. This article however being an argumentative one, it must be on the open forum. But I would appreciate your opinion on my comment #44. Thank you for any advice or correction.
If you are Pre-Trib, then what do you think was Pete’s point, and do you agree?
I am mostly pre-trib but I see no positive benefit to hashing it out on a thread like this.
I like how my church colleague characterized it. He calls himself a panmillennialist — it will all pan out in the end.
A heretic is a professed believer who maintains religious opinions contrary to those accepted by his or her church or rejects doctrines prescribed by that church.
So if you have a pre-tribulation rapturist group member who maintains an opinion contrary to that group, then that group of p-t raps can call him/her a heretic.
On the other hand if you are not a member of the p-t raps and hold a contrary opinion you, by definition, are not to them a heretic
The opinion you hold can be heresy to them - but that's a different think - a heretical philosophy is different from the people holding it
