I was raised in COG on rapture preaching and clung to every word as a child!

as a young child if I came home and no one was there occasionally I would experience temporary panic, rushing from room to room to find someone home and outside to see if someone was around the house in a state of panic! Has anyone experience that? Is God pleased when a small child experiences this panic? Does good come of it? Can there be further complication from this childhood panic.

I also used to get creeped out as a kid when my mother would come to my bed nightly to tuck me in and repeat the prayer: “Now I lay me down to sleep; I pray the Lord my soul to keep; If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.” I laid awake worrying that I might die and end up in hell!

I never liked that prayer either

When I had times of doubting if I would have been taken in the rapture as a child, my parents or pastor would direct me down the “Roman Road” as I made sure I had nothing, no sin no weights no shortcomings standing in the way of me and an eternity with my God, Lord, and Saviour.
I would be instructed to answer the conviction by believing, confessing, and accepting Jesus’ work on the cross for me personally.We need more parents and pastors like that.

most of us didn’t have that, I know I didn’t

I was raised up on this book and it didn’t provide much more than fear that I would not make it. I would never live to the qualifications of this book!
