Wow. I know the AG churches say Jesus is 100% God but 100% Man at the same time...well, that's 200% of nonsense. Calling Christ God is a deal breaker for me.

All of True Christianity ( believers in the death burial and ressurection of Christ) rises or fails on this belief. You can claim to be christian but if you don't believe in His resurection you are not one...

Paul stated in acts. If Christ rose not from the dead then our faith is vain and we are still in our sins with no hope

Gee, because rising from the dead can't be a metaphor or anything, it all has to be literal or Wing excommunicates you.

sorry but I can't excommunicate anyone or any thing
thats not my place you are either a believer or your not . the choice is entirely up to you..
only the catholic church or other mainstream religions believe that they can excomnunicate a believer.
its not bibical
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosever believeth on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life

The left behind series is based on
a. The rapture / I Thessalonians For the lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God. and the dead in christ shall rise first,Then we which are alive shall be caught up (raptar)together with them in the clouds,to meet the Lod in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord
b.Tribulation/ based on Mathew 24 , Daniel 9 ,Ezekial 38 and 39, Revelation 4:5 thru 20 is God dealing with Isreal and Gentile unbelievers, Many people will come to Christ during the tribulation but there Faith will betested even unto death as it was with the first 200 years of the early church,

hope this sheds some light
