Posted by Joyce on 3/22/2007, 8:12 pm, in reply to "Re: His Appearing and His Coming" You wrote that we are not told when we will be resurrected. I don't understand why you think that. Please considering the following. I Cor. 15:22-24 reads, "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive, but each in his own turn. Christ is the firstfruits, then, when He comes, those who belong to Him. Then the end will come…..". I Corinthians is, as you know, an Acts period epistle. Are believers of the dispensation of the mystery included in the phrase "in Christ"? Are believers of the dispensation of the mystery included in the phrase "those who belong to Him"? Certainly the church was not in Paul's mind when he penned these phrases, but I believe that the context will show that those phrases include all believers of every dispensation. That is to say, the context makes it clear that this passage in I Corinthians speaks of universal truths, not of dispensational truths and therefore applies to all believers. Therefore, I beleive that the Word of God tells us that we as being "in Christ" and belonging to Him will be resurrected at Christ's coming. In Christ,
