If the Rapture doesn’t happen pre-trib, there’s no point in it.

The tribulation is God’s judgment on an unbelieving wold. Since believers are well, believers, they have already been judged and declared innocent. There’s no point in leaving believers to suffer the wrath of God that He’s going to pour out on this planet.

Some way to treat the Bride of Christ.

Much agree.

I’m just not dogmatic about it.

Not according to Jesus.

The tribulation is God’s judgment on an unbelieving wold. Since believers are well, believers, they have already been judged and declared innocent. There’s no point in leaving believers to suffer the wrath of God that He’s going to pour out on this planet.

This is just a priori reasoning based on an incorrect first premise.

Believers are raptured upon Christ’s return so that we are not destroyed along with the evil ones. There’s very much a purpose of being raptured, just not in a secret way, 7 yrs before Christ’s return.
