1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit. ~ HEBREWS 6:1-3

This is a favorite scripture of mine considering that God didn’t permit in Paul’s day, but it is for this age. The question is, have we yielded to this or is it just something we examine and talk about? When we talk about a rapture condition, we must think about having gone on unto perfection. Perfection is our position in Christ. It is the result of redemption, having been restored to our original condition. Have we attained to this? I think most of us are believing the rapture could happen at any time, but what about fulfilling this verse and many others that have to do with perfection. Are we in the Capstone? Is Christ in full control of our actions? These are things worth thinking about.
