Ah, for one my bad KG, I didn't see your comment before my second post, but that is exactly what I'm getting at. How common is it do you all think that people ignore the scriptures that for example 37818 posted (except for Acts 1? I don't see you meaning).
This post isn't so much a discussion about the actual eschatological event (whatever form that will take is a discussion we can have in an Eschatologies thread), so much as it is about the seeming lack of knowledge upon it by the laity. I think we can know how important this is when we look to the Scriptures pointed out, especially 1 Corinthians 15, to see that this is a topic worthy of discussion, and also the importance of this as a defense against Gnostic critiques of the material.
I suppose to answer my own question, the progressive and liberal branches of the church probably miss the point entirely, along with potentially some evangelicals. It is a wrong teaching that should be taught against. Is it however heresy to deny a general resurrection?
I've got a lot of questions and not many answers. :)
