Not quite right, Lance. I will speak for myself but I think Judy is in
agreement with me on this. I believe that the Scripture is inspired, and
I
believe that Jesus as per the teachings of Scripture has promised to
inspire
the believer. Therefore, we are promised to receive an understanding of
Scripture by the Spirit. This does not mean that we do not engage in
uninspired interpretation. We engage in that like other men, but we
attempt
to forsake uninspired interpretation as a "dead work." We warn others
from
becoming too engaged in it, and it becoming an idol and substituting for
the
promise of Jesus Christ for the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
I do not believe that everything I say is inspired, nor do I believe all
my
interpretations are spot on. However, there are areas of understanding
that
I do believe are inspired and therefore infallible. For example, my
belief
that Jesus is the Christ is infallible from my perspective.
FWIW, I find my position on this much less dangerous than John claiming an
ontological infallibility for himself. Why do you give him a pass on
that,
but wrangle over every jot and tittle of what I write?

Any errors in the passage, Dean? No, I know of none. Any errors in the
interpretation, Dean? YES!
Dean:IMO, JT & DM occupy a position wherein they believe that their
'reading' of Scripture is 'inspired'. IMO, they believe that God has
promised such an 'inspired' reading to be available to all true believers.
IFF I've not mischaracterized them (I'm open to correction on this) then,
this is a rather huge error! This is particularly important for DM as he
believes himself to be a 'prophet' of some sort. Also, he is in a position
to influence the thinking of many. All this to say, Dean, that those who
hold to such an understanding are not likely open to any correction
whatsoever. Dangerous stuff, Dean! Therefore, I wouldn't want to dissuade
you from this 'rapture thingy' should it matter much to you.

Never fear Dean, it's based on a faulty reading of key texts so nobody's
goin' anywhere. It is kind of on a par with Albert Barnes' reading
concerning the eternality of the Son.

cd:John -not to insult but I think to focus on concernment on you part
would
put most of these issues at rest. If you went and asked students at
college:" what do you think the highest level of math is?" I think you
would
get different answers as studentsstudents vary in grade levels-would you
then walk away shaking your head saying theses students have been taught
wrong? No, I would think that you would realize some have more knowledge
than others and relate to them in an appropriate manner-even to help the
younger ones understand more-the trick- in my opinion- is to decide where
to
start and hopefully one can learn as they seek to help others.The same can
be said here. D.Miller in my opinion could be one of the leading Bible
scholars of our day if he ever outgrew the Church of God-which has trapped
his doctoring and he is blind to this fact-which speaks of pride. Judy and
I
are caught somewhere between Calvinism and Armenians in our doctrine but
we
see this and want it out of our teachings as soon we can- but ar e finding
that the teachings run deep and don't really know how to leave it behind.
The "intellectuals" are trapped in Calvinism toward Catholicism and don't
even know it as they focus on the "dancing around teachings" of Baxter-and
if they did know one would doubt if they would care. Blaine is Mormon in
belief and doctoring and will listen to truth and even agree with that
truth
but fail to incorporate that his beliefs. DaveH knows the truth but fear
prevents him from dealing with that truth-the comfort zone has trapped
him..
Izzy-in my limited knowledge of her-has a good handle on truth but is
resisted by the flesh. Gary is into Gary.Perry is a great man from my
limited knowledge. This is all just my opinion given to help-for you and
them not to attack.Note: that I am limited by my bias of self so any
feedback offered would be helpful. The main point is go slow as people are
different but one must know Jesus and the crucified one.
