I was wondering, what was Hobart Freeman and Faith Assembly's stance on the pre-tribulation rapture and premillennialism?
Just curious, and do you think it should be an issue?

He was pretrib. and premil. I am as well and probably the other guys here are too. Freeman's pretrib position (and mine) was a little more nuanced than that . He believed there would be a rapture at the beginning of the trib for those who are ready (overcomers) with a further midtrib rapture for the rest of the church. Big subject. Be an interesting discussion.
What did you mean by " should it be an issue"?

Mark,
Do you remember where the manifested sons of God fit into this picture? In 1 John 3:2 Beloved, Now are we the sons of God, KJV.
Is this what is meant about the greater works ministry, the sons of God would go forth and do the greater works before the tribulation period?
I remember that the overcomers would rule and reign with a rod of iron during the millennium, then comes the latter rain at what point is this presented, before tribulation?
Back to the sons of God, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God."
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits for the revealing of the sons of God.
So the creation is awaiting for this event? Before or after the tribulation?
I believe the way you show it in the quote, did not know how all these other events play into the picture. I assume the next big event is Gog and Magog moves against Israel, somewhere the rapture takes place then the tribulation comes on the earth. But are the sons manifested here for the greater works ministry, before Gog and Magog?
I'm running into sons of God movement people who seem very convincing. Except I don't see us presenting the kingdom to Jesus I think He is the one who brings everything to pass.
One more thing, Did HF preach against the manifested sons of God movement and Dominionism doctrine?
A casual look at these doctrines; we believed a lot of the things that they are saying. Curious on how you guys remember these teachings.

Dominionism has been around for a long time. In my opinion it started, more or less, with a redefinition of the literal millennial period into a spiritual period of time where the church was to gradually take over the world.
There are some indications of this in the writings of the Church "fathers" around the time of Constantine. Earlier, during the "apostolic" period, there seemed to be an overwhelming belief in the literal return of Jesus who was to reign over the earth for a thousand years at which point all of His enemies were to be judged and His reign would then continue through eternity.
Blessings,
William
I want to believe!
