LARGE NUMBER OF PASTORS DO NOT BELIEVE IN RAPTURE!

It is quite sad to say that the present church has lost focus.The over emphasis on prosperity through the gospel has taken over the traditional teachings of the early church fathers.The bible has remained intact over the years,but we do not preach the whole doctrines therein any more. Do you believe in the end of time? As for me, i do believe that Jesus is coming back someday to take those who are ready to reign with him in heaven.The statistics below is from a survey carried out in a sample population of 1000 senior Pentecostal churches and it is quite shocking to note the divergent views they all have concerning the end of all things.We must pray for revival to happen in every corner of the earth.

THE SURVEY
Out of the 1,000 senior Protestant pastors surveyed, only a third (36 percent) believed in a pre-tribulation rapture where Christians disappear at the start of the apocalypse and those left behind suffer tribulation.
Thirty-six percent of pastors say the rapture is not literal, while almost 1 in 5 believe the rapture happens after the tribulation (18 percent).
About half of pastors (49 percent) see the Antichrist as a figure who will arise in the future, 14 percent believe he is the personification of evil, while 12 percent say he is not an actual person.
Close to half of the pastors surveyed believe in pre-millennialism (48 percent), which is the view that the thousand-year reign of Christ happens in the future.
A third (31 percent) of leaders don't believe in a thousand-year reign, but they do believe that Jesus already rules in the hearts and minds of Christians. Close to 1 in 10 (11 percent) believe in post-millennialism, the idea that the world will gradually become more Christian until Jesus returns.
