The Great Replacement Theory ;)
This seemed to be confirmed when almost all who were baptized after 1935 felt that they had the earthly hope. Thereafter, any called to the heavenly hope were believed to be replacements for anointed Christians who had proved unfaithful.
This always confused me. Given that anointed ones by their very definition are unlikely to "fall" out of grace undeserved kindness, the number of replacements must have always been mighty small. Ok. Maybe we can accept there'll be a few (we did). But even in the 80s and 90s (when this theory was still believed by many) those numbers must have dwindled to nothing simply because all the anointed had mostly died.
So how are there still being "replacements" created? And in such numbers!! Surely you have to be alive on earth to sin?! Or did this mean those with the heavenly calling were sinning up in heaven ??!!😳
