They believe the same drivel!

Well, Brother Baxter Jr is a Dispensationalist, just a Dispensationalist who places the rapture after the Tribulation.

What is mind blowing is that he continues to say how ENDTIME is going to send an Endtime Magazine to every household in Israel. Yet, what he believes is that the greatest holocaust of Jews the earth has ever seen. It is a wonder that Israel hasn't barred Irving Baxter Jr from their country. Because teaching that the Jews will have another holocaust where they barely escape is looked upon as Anti-Semitic.

I think Bro Baxter is a good man, but he is just a man. What I don't understand is all these people who believe we are living in the end times. If they are truly convinced we are in the last days, why are they not frantically trying to win the lost?
IMHO we are not promised tomorrow or even the next second. If we focus on end times, do we miss the point?

Exxxxxxxxxxactly!!!

The Scripture says...

Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised
Heb 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

With their lips they say that Jesus is coming back soon, immenient return. But with their actions they are canceling services, planning for retirements, stopping their evangelism, and ceasing their fervor for the work of God.

Eph 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Eph 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

If they truly believed what they say they do, and some do, they would be having more church and not less, praying more and not less, winning more and not less, forgetting about retirement in 20 years, quit purchasing the large buildings on a 30, 40 or more note, and just win souls.

But many don't.

Winning the lost is the purpose of ENDTIME ministries. Right or wrong many have been influenced by it.

Then you can use the same logic to uphold tithing. There are a lot of stories of people who were faithful tithers who believe they were blessed because they tithed not matter what was going on in their lives. Win people to truth, not hocus pocus butter beans and wild okra theology.

I'm not so sure of that. I'm not trying to be a jerk about this, but I have seen so many people terrified by people who "interpret" prophecy, & then when it doesn't come to pass, they question the steps of salvation. I'm sorry, but I don't think God ever intended for us to obsess over prophecy. Obsessing over winning the lost should be our focus.

I have a good friend and brother who moved his family out of Florida because he believed that Florida was going to sink into the Atlantic (a endtime scenario). Also asked me to pack up and leave (I thank him for his concern) but Florida is still here.

Also a brother in Tampa had a woman stand up and give a message in the church he pastored, that Florida was going to get hit with a Tsunami, so the brother moved his family and church to Texas.

When people are so wound up in Doomsdaying, "some" tend to loose sight of the main thing, and end up wanting to continually look for more, and more disasters on the horizon. Some, sadly make a living out of it.

Yeah, but isn't the end of days fun? Cats and dogs living together, women preaching in the church, stringed instruments...
