"And because evil has multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. But whoever perseveres to the end, he will be saved "(Matthew 24: 12-13).

In the debate about the time of the Rapture, one point is usually neglected. And that is that the terms and conditions of salvation during the great tribulation are totally different from the terms during the Church Age, and, therefore, they are not meant to be for the same group of people. In both cases salvation is by faith alone, but that is where any similarity ends. This presents another argument in favor of the Church Age believers that are taken before the great tribulation begins.

Here is the heart of the matter about the nature of salvation during the Church Age. Ephesians 1: 13-14 says, "In him you also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and having believed in it, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest ] of our inheritance until the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of his glory ".
