Quote:The second point I'll make is that just because a person doesn't have the holy spirit doesn't mean they can't make it into heaven. In the parable of the 10 virgins, the 5 wise virgins had oil in their lamps and the 5 foolish virgins did not, the oil represents the Holy Spirit. The foolish virgin are good church going people, hence why they are virgins, they just never received the holy spirit and will be left out of the rapture. They will have to go through the tribulation period.That's a hell of a long winded way to say "No, Khem...I'm not a true christian by my own standards." Not sure why you felt the need to refer to numerology on that one.
There were a couple of old testament examples that Jesus referred to, the days of Noah, and the days of Lot.
Using the example of Lot, we have two characters, Abraham and Lot.
Abraham represented the elect/predestinated (those that are Christ-like), and Lot represented your nominal Christian (Christian by name only). When the time came for Abraham and Lot to separate, Lot chose to live in the city of Sodom (which represents the world).
Christians are called to be separate from the world and not partake in its sin. Abraham was never in Sodom, he was chilling in the tent with God. Lot, however, escaped Sodom by the skin of his teeth. (I will go more into this in detail in an original post in which I submit my evidence).
In the example of Noah, Jesus was explaining to the Jews of the 8 souls being saved from the flood. In this case, He was speaking to the Jews who are protected during the tribulation period. The same way the ark protected Noah and his family. The foolish virgin have no such protection and are martyred during the tribulation period. There was a man named Enoch, however, who was taken off the earth before the flood, he was the example of the elect who are taken up in the rapture.
The book of Revelation states exactly how many Jews come through the tribulation period, which is 144,000. So, that means if they are the example of the 8 that came through the ark, then those that go in the rapture would be 8 times less than that - which would be approximately 18,000 worldwide.
If the estimated Christian population is 2.2 billion, we are looking at around 18,000 "true Christians".
