‘Mid-Acts-ers’ make TWO of nearly everything. They SEPARATE the saints, by DIVIDING Israel from what-they-call ‘the church, the body of Christ’ which-they-mean-to-be ‘only those saints that have been saved by believing what PAUL wrote’.
Could anyone show me the VERSE that says that?
If so, please e-mail magnifiedword@aol.com.
If not, don’t believe the ‘mid-Acts-ers’.
Instead, trust the word of GOD.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ refuse to acknowledge that the Jews who believed ‘in time past’ were ‘IN CHRIST’ .... but the scripture (Yeah, even what PAUL wrote) is very clear. The FAITH Paul now preached --- was the SAME FAITH he used to destroy --- the faith of those who were 'IN CHRIST' before him (Rom 16:7):
Gal 1:21-23 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us (those which were ‘in Christ’ from vs. 22) in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ always focus on the LAST part of this next verse. They should take a good look at the FIRST (since they teach 2 Jesus’) .... and .... the MIDDLE, that there is only ONE faith. Israel’s faith was the same faith as our faith. There is not a DIFFERENT FAITH those ‘in Christ’ before Paul (Rom 16:7) .... and those ‘in Christ’ since Paul:
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

The Beginning and The End?
A teaching elder opened his messge this week with a comment about 1 Thess 4:16-17, where he began, "In this passage about the rapture ...." In all fairness, he did later admit that the word ‘rapture’ was not in the Bible, but he preaches that it will take place ‘pre-tribulation’, which to him, is before the 70th week of Daniel. He calls the entire 7 years the ‘tribulation’. He also taught that ‘just as he BEGAN the dispensation of grace with an appearance of the Lord calling Paul .... so it will END.’ By his remarks, he believes the dispensation of grace STARTED in Acts 9 with the calling of Saul on the road to Damascus, and that it will STOP with the ‘rapture’ of only-those-saints-that-have-believed-the-gospel-according-to-Paul .... 7 plus years BEFORE the man of sin arrives .... with another appearance of the Lord calling Paul’s converts up to heaven.

I cannot find any scripture to support ‘mid-Acts’ notions that God BEGAN the dispensation of grace in Acts 9 or that He will END it in 1 Thess 4:16-17.
2 Tim 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
The grace is found in Christ Jesus .... not ‘in PAUL’.

A Secret Meaning and 2 Blasts?
When teaching in 1 Thess 4:16-17, a teaching elder said, "It was a prophesied event, but a meaning to the prophesied event was not known till Paul. Then he repeated that Paul put a secret meaning to prophesied events. He also said of the shout, the voice, and the trump, that these events are unexpected and unprophesied.
1 Thess 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The teaching elder said the shout announces the conclusion of the dispensation of grace.
Could anyone show me the VERSE that teaches that?
He said the voice has to do with His standing for the nation of Israel and the resumption of Israel’s program.
Could anyone show me the VERSE that teaches that?
The teaching elder said the trump was for the resurrection of the dead, our gathering together. I’ll go along with that .... but not with this:
He then DIVIDED the trump .... into 2 different 'blasts':
Blast # 1 will be for the dead in Christ to arise.
Separate blast # 2 will be for the alive to be changed.
He believes this second blast is ‘the last trump’ of 1 Cor 15:52.

Praying for Another Spirit?
At a recent conference, during his opening prayer a ‘mid-Acts’ preacher prayed, "We pray for that Berean spirit to search the scriptures daily to see if these things are so."

(There is yet another point with this passage, that WHY would the Bereans even have been LOOKING in the scriptures .... IF .... as the ‘mid-Acts-ers’ claim .... Paul was preaching "uniquely DIFFERENT, NEW information"? If Paul’s revelation was not IN the scriptures .... then they would have been foolish to search for it there! But, it was there, as Paul himself testified in Acts 26:22; 28:23,31.)
Acts 17:10-11 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
I realize what the verses SAY .... but they do not suggest for us to pray for ‘that Berean spirit’. Would that be like ‘another spirit’ (2 Cor 11:4)? .... because we have the Spirit which is of God, the Spirit of Christ:
1 Cor 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
I believe I would rather just stay with HIS Spirit.
BTW, this was another preacher that refuses to acknowledge the KJV title of the office he holds as a 'bishop' .... preferring The Living Bible's term 'pastor' instead. (But this 'shepherd' tells his congregation that they are not 'sheep' -- that Israel is only the sheep.)

Called to Separate Inheritances?
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that the saints who have believed the gospel through PAUL’s words (who-they-call, exclusively, the body of Christ) have been called to a DIFFERENT inheritance (stay in HEAVEN for eternity) than all the other saints of God who were not saved by what-they-call PAUL’s gospel.

When God called Saul (Paul) and commissioned him to go to the Gentiles, He promised THEM an inheritance AMONG the saints who were already believers in Christ. The scriptures testify that ‘the called’ of God are sanctified by faith in Christ, as brothers with Christ, and will all SHARE as fellowheirs (Eph 3:6), as joint-heirs with Christ (Rom 8:17) in His inheritance for eternity:
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

A 'Unique' Gospel?
I have heard it said numerous times this week at the IL conference, that Paul had a ‘unique’ gospel message.

Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
Luke recorded Paul’s own testimony that he was only preaching the same things that Moses and the prophets predicted:
Acts 26:22-23 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ favorite gospel passage is 1 Cor 15:3-4 .... however, they always stop short of verses 5-11 because they go against their ‘Paul’s unique gospel’ doctrine. Verses 5-7 actually name Peter (Cephas in John 1:42), the 12, over 500 brothers, James, and all the apostles as preaching the SAME gospel that PAUL preached in verse 11.
1 Cor 15:1-11 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen of me (Paul) also, as of one born out of due time.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

Three Toots?

If so, please e-mail magnifiedword@aol.com.
If not, don’t believe the ‘mid-Acts-ers’.

Here is how they make up their 3 toots:
Made-up Toot # 1: When Jesus descends from heaven.
Made-up Toot # 2: When the dead are raised.
Made-up Toot # 3: When the alive are caught up.
The verses they MIS-use to make up their toots are:
1 Thess 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
It certainly does not say ANYTHING about a series of 3 trumps, as 'mid-Acts-ers' have. There are 7 trumpets yet to sound in the Revelation .... but ‘mid-Acts-ers’ don’t want to be on the planet until ‘the last trump’ of them. So they make up their own set of 3.

When the 7th angel sounds his trumpet, that will be the last trump .... and that is when the mystery of God (Rev 10:7, Col 2:2) will be finished, just as God told his servants the prophets (1 Cor 15:52). When the 7th angel sounds, Christ will return to gather the saints together and take His holy vengeance on His enemies (2 Thess 1:4-10, 2 Thess 2:1-10), and set up God’s kingdom in this world on earth (Rev 11:15, 2 Tim 4:1, Dan 2:44).

‘Mid-Acts-er’ teach that people who are saved by the ministry of Paul (who-they-call EXCLUSIVELY ‘the church, the body of Christ’) have a DIFFERENT inheritance than saints who were saved before Paul.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
New Jerusalem is the inheritance of ALL God’s children.
Notice the similarity from Paul:
2 Cor 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Rom 4:16-18 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ won’t admit it .... but because WE have faith in Christ, WE are now the true seed of Abraham. It is not the physical seed anymore (see Rom 2:28-29):
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

2 Cor 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (also see Gen 3:1-5, 14-15)

Given Assignments for Heavenly Service?
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that just the saints who have been saved by PAUL’s ministry will be raptured up to heaven with an angelic escort some years BEFORE the 70th week of Daniel begins .... where they will be JUDGED for rewards and GIVEN THEIR ASSIGNMENTS for service in the heavenly places for eternity.
Could anyone show me the verse that teaches that?
I find no verse that teaches anything of the sort.

Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
In the context of ‘the judgment seat of Christ’, before Whom we ALL will stand .... there is NO MENTION of WHEN the event will occur. However, God (through PAUL) immediately quoted the OLD testament promise from Isa 45:23, which indicates EVERY PERSON, not just believers, will appear there (see Isa 45:22-25):
Rom 14:8-12 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
The one other verse with the specific phrase ‘the judgment seat of Christ’ (2 Cor 5:10), again, gave NO CLUE in the context for the TIMING of its occurance.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ need to change their doctrine about Christ’s judgment seat.

Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
The only verse even remotely close to that is in PETER .... not PAUL!
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ don’t want anything to do with Peter, but they wrest (twist) a phrase from him:
1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge,
giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel,
and as being heirs together of the grace of life;
that your prayers be not hindered.

Raptured BEFORE Tribulation?
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that only the saints who have been saved through the ministry of PAUL (who-they-call ‘the body of Christ’ .... who-they-believe to be uniquely SEPARATE from ALL ‘other’ saints) will be ‘raptured’ up to heaven .... several years BEFORE the 70th week of Daniel BEGINS, a position they call ‘pre-tribulation’. They think the entire 7 years is God’s wrath and tribulation, and that they will be ‘mysteriously’ removed from off the planet BEFORE then.

Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
PAUL taught the churches of God to endure tribulation, because God would get vengeance on their persecutors, when Jesus comes in glory. THEN .... in THAT day .... He will pour out His wrath on His enemies, and deliver His saints:
2 Thess 1:4-10 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Escorted by Angels?
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that only the saints who have been saved through the ministry of PAUL will be ‘raptured’ up into heaven (before the 70th week of Daniel begins, which they believe to be the wrath to come and great tribulation) .... and that they will be protected on the way up through the heavenly realm by an angelic escort.

Could anyone show me the verse that teaches that ANY church started in the book of Acts ANYWHERE? The church was in the wilderness, but the verse does not say that it BEGAN there. But we know the church was operating there, and that JESUS was in it:
Acts 7:37-38 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
