What would happen?
That's an easy one. The members would simply move on to another ideology that does not honor Christ, and one that makes them feel superior to Christians.
like the org just gives up and comes out saying that all of what they are saying is untrue and that there is no armageddon, nothing.
how do y’all think the the members still in it would react?.
there be a mental health crisis i perhaps.

Duran you are cherrypicking and ignoring dozens of Scriptures that I pointed out showing Salvation to be a past tense event for Church-Age believers. You can't change that .... ever. Gal. 1: 8&9 says that if you preach a "good news" that the apostles didn't preach, you are cursed.
This "silly" chart is basic theology 101.
Why not just obey Jesus and get born again first before deep diving into end-times theology? If you'll do that, the Holy Ghost will guide you onto the ways of truth. Surely you don't have a problem with allowing the Spirit of Jesus into your mind, heart and anywhere else he wants to reside within you.... do you?
I've noticed a common theme with talking to (also living with, raised by, and surrounded by) heretics for much of the past 50 + years. They all seem totally focused on proving that they have some special knowledge that, in their opinion, Christians vitally need. But, they are totally unconcerned with their own Salvation.

Politicians call this code-switching. We used to call this lying.

Just trying to work through some of your definitions here.
Are you assuming that the Last Day, the 1st Resurrection and the Rapture are all the same event?
If so, you need to take into consideration that the first resurrection takes place in various stages. Jesus Christ Himself (the “first fruits,” 1 Corinthians 15:20), paved the way for the resurrection of all who believe in Him. There will be the resurrection of “the dead in Christ” at the Lord’s return (1 Thessalonians 4:16) and the resurrection of the martyrs at the end of the tribulation (Revelation 20:4). The Old Testament saints will also be raised at the end of the tribulation, and they are also part of the first resurrection.

Wait a minute, didn't I recall that she was sworn in as the first INDIAN senator BACK in 2017? But now, she's running a the first BLACK woman president?
serena william's thanks jehovah god for allowing her to participate in sports.
how nice.
my jw parents followed the rules and thought they were doing jehovahs will by denying me participation in sports.
Yep. Only in the upside down world of the far left can a man get a trophy on national Television for beating the snot out of a woman. Kamallah Harris for President!

in the days of israel parents were instructed by jehovah to take such a rebel to the city fathers and they, in turn, took the incorrigible one out and stoned him to death.
there were no juvenile delinquents under such a system.

Duran,
You still are trying to ignore the scriptures I present and the fundamental problem you have is with trying to lump Church-Age Christians who have been saved with Tribulation Saints who may be saved. Until you address how BOTH are true, not just one to the exclusion of the other, your theology will be inconsistent. If inconsistent, it is very likely to be wrong.
Regarding your last post. I think you will find this source to provide a very even-handed treatment of the point I believe you are trying to make.

@Duran
You just showed that you are aware that during the GT people are saved by their faith enduring the hardships upon them at that time. And YES, there is salvation NOW in having that faith because that is the promise/understanding attached to this faith.
You are adding to scripture. Gods Word presents a past tense, finished condition for church-age believers, not a “promise” like you are stating. You cant have it both ways. It is inconsistent to say Christians are saved now at the moment they are born again; but the Tribulation saints aren’t saved until later when they have endured to the end.
Those two conditions are NOT the same. Something has changed.
That something is the rapture and the emergence of the tribulation saints after the Church is gone.

So you deny the books in the New Testament are Gods Word. Ok. Bye, bye now.
