Messianic Jew

Dear Arno,I’m doing a study on end time issues for a friend of mine who’s a Christian; I’m a Messianic Jew. We both have many conclusions in common, such as Christ will be King and there will be a resurrection, but we don’t agree on several other subjects. One is the Rapture. I can find many verses in both Testaments to support my opinions on that. I do believe that there will be two judgments, but can’t find any Scripture to support my opinion on that. Is there perhaps an article or Letter to the Editor that will support or condemn my views on that? -K. Hall, FL


Arno's Answer:


Your statement, “a Christian; I’m a Messianic Jew” is confusing. You are either a Christian or you’re not, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28).  

The two judgments are for two different groups of people (see Romans 14:10 and 2 Corinthians 5:10).  That judgment is for Christians, but it’s not a judgment unto condemnation, rather unto reward (see 1 Corinthians 3:12-15).  The other judgment is unto condemnation, according to Revelation 20:11-15.
