Is it all the same "Glorification"? . . . . and the afterwards of the rapture of the faithful in Christ, is what?
Transfigured refers to the revealing and unveiling of Christ in His glory. Translatedmeans moved from our earthly dwelling into aheavenly place. Transformed is changed intothe likeness of Christ. The Greek words havesubtle differences in their meanings.

Ormly, I don't make any assumptions; especiallywhen it comes down to obedience.
Then the question really isn't for you. . . )) except why is it generally assumed?

Merit? Unmerit? We know God never chooses an unrighteous man to do His righteous bidding. What criteria does God then use when determining His choices. . . .and can't it be seen as meritorious on the part of the chosen and something they need to protect as in never where your humble badge. For instance, what is the reward for loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength?If it is something that is learned and we learn it then is it not something we earned?
