Baptist? OSAS? pretrib or post-trib?

In my post "REAL" means "REAL not spiritually etherial - not to be taken as non-literal"

Is there ANYONE who claims to be "a-mill" but believes in a "literal 1000 year period" between the first resurreciton coming of Christ and the 2nd resurrection?

If so - I have not seen them post here.

You are claiming that people who believe in a literal 1000 year millennium call themselves "a-mill".

Please show me where that is coming from.

This we believe -
pre-mill means:
the Second Coming of Jesus before
the Millennial Messanic Kingdom

post-mill means:
the Millennial Messanic Kingdom before
the Second Coming of Jesus

a- mill, with the prefix 'a-', meaning that the 1000 years of Rev 20 is not a literal 1000 year period of time.

As pointed out - in Matt 24 we see a post-trib Pre-mill 2nd coming

 

Your link references this

I am talking to someone at NASA about the reference they make there.

I must say that I agree with Rob on this, BUT, having looked at Ed Sutton's post again, he doesn't (as far as I can see) say anything about whether the thousand years are literal or figurative, though he implies the latter, by saying that amillennialists believe the millennial reign to be spiritually discerned:

1. a-millennial - the Millennial reign of Christ is to be
spiritually discerned, not physically.
(Two subgroups divide according to
if the Second Coming of Christ is to be
spiritually discerned ONLY or has spiritual + physical
parameters)//

​

 

Very often you find amillenialists declaring that the millennium is a figure of speech referring to the "church age" since some time near the time of Christ until this very day - coverng more than 1000 literal years.

I have not seen anyone on this board claiming to believe in an amillennial view AND also claiming that it is a literal 1000 year period of time starting at the 2nd coming as Rev 20 states.

Do we have any examples of that -- anywhere?

Someone claiming a literal 1000 year millennium AND claiming that their view is "a-mill"?

These guys seem to have the right definition -

I would go further, Bob, and say that I have never seen or heard of anybody, whether on this board, or anywhere else, claiming to believe in an amillennial view AND also claiming that it is a literal 1000 year period of time starting at the 2nd coming. It would seem to be a contradiction in terms.

 

KenH recently posted that he is amill -- I have asked if he ever heard of an amill group claiming that there is a real 1000 year Millennium that begins at the 2nd coming event of Rev 19.

Ed recently posted that one of his Amill definitions allows for what we see today - AMill groups that do not hold to a literal 1000 year period starting at the 2nd coming as the "millennium".

---

In the mean time - I am pre-mill and Post-trib. Believing in a literal 1000 year millennium starting at the 2nd coming and separating the first resurrection from the 2nd.

in Christ,

Bob

 

Poll closed -- election over --

But I would vote - Non-Baptist, non-OSAS, post-trib

in Christ,

Bob

 

It is often very difficult for me to remember what I voted 3 months ago -- so you are right -- I could be posting on this topic all year -- about once every 3 months to give my "vote" -

In Christ,

Bob

 

I have a Baptist prewrath and OSAS outlook on scripture. Is it better to vote late than never?

 

Can a Baptist be Amillenialist?

 

Of course so! I'm one, and I know plenty of others. Why do you imagine the two terms ("baptist" and "Amillenial") are mutualy exclusive?

 

No. But most Baptist I run into aren't. The more I study the more Amillenial I become. To be honest I'm not sure about a pretrib rapture or a paranthetical church age. I believe Jesus will return in totality not partially and I believe in the judgement. Where does that place me?
