I personally stopped following the tribulation thread long ago, though I
found some pieces enlightening, there's just too much being posted on
it that is opinion or speculation and I haven't the time to read 4-5 10K
mail posts everyday.

I have gotten some helpful info in other areas however and a lot of really
good
jokes. :-)

As for pre- mid- or post-trib theology, my opinion is to just be ready at
all
times for no man knoweth the day or the hour which God alone hath 
ordained to take His Church up and smite the earth with His wrath. If the
Lord reveals you a truth about this beyond a shadow of a doubt then great,
I have seen nothing proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, however; so watch
and pray for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh! We see the signs all
around
us!!!


Mercy unto you, and peace, and love,

P.S.- As far as core beliefs...no change, there is ONE Modalist Monarch
Spirit called God whose saving name is Jesus, which name we are to be
baptized in and we need to be filled with His Holy Spirit of promise as 
evidenced by the speaking of other tongues as the Spirit gives the
utterance,
dieing daily to this wretched flesh, living holy before our Lord God
Almighty
in all humbleness, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ boldly to whosoever
will hear it being filled with JOY of the Holy Ghost though we be tempted
and
tried daily in this sinful world with much affliction, infirmities of the
flesh, 
persecutions, and diverse evils on every side, striving for perfection yet 
admitting and professing imperfection, forgiving and being forgiven letting
not
our hearts condemn us should we fall, fail, sin, or just plain get down on
life's
many sorrows, such as the many souls going daily to a fiery hell that we
have
no power to stop other than prayer, fasting, and preaching to the lost
knowing 
that even after doing all of that, the end result is not in our power to
control or
decide for Only God can truly Save the lost. The Lord Bless you all in
Jesus'
Mighty Name!
