Yes — 1 Corinthians 15 teaches a resurrection order, not a single simultaneous rising: Christ the firstfruits, then those who are Christ's at His coming, with Les Feldick adding a third company for Old Testament and tribulation saints.
In 1 Corinthians 15:20–23, Paul says every man is raised 'in his own order,' with Christ as the firstfruits and afterward 'they that are Christ's at his coming.' Les Feldick understands this as three distinct companies: the firstfruits company (Christ and the Matthew 27 saints), the Church-age believers at the Rapture, and then the Old Testament and tribulation saints after the tribulation. Paul is not describing one general resurrection of everyone at the same time.
1 Corinthians 15:23 — This is the verse that states the resurrection order: Christ the firstfruits, then those who are Christ's at His coming.
1 Corinthians 15:20 — It establishes Christ as 'the firstfruits of them that slept,' the starting point of the resurrection order.
Matthew 27:52–53 — Les points to these verses as the event that formed the firstfruits company with Christ.
In 1 Corinthians 15:20–23, Paul writes: 'But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.' The passage explicitly gives a sequence to the resurrection of believers. Then in 1 Corinthians 15:51–52, Paul describes the mystery of the last trumpet: 'In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.' The text itself names Christ and 'they that are Christ's at his coming' as the first two parts of the order; it does not list every later company in this chapter.
Les Feldick teaches that 1 Corinthians 15 does not describe a general resurrection of all believers at the same time. Instead, every believer is raised 'in his own order' or 'his own company.' He identifies three distinct stages: first, Christ and the believing saints who came out of the graves in Matthew 27 as the firstfruits; second, the Church-age believers (the Body of Christ) at the coming of the Lord for His Church, which is the Rapture; and third, the Old Testament saints and tribulation saints, whom he says will be resurrected about 75 days after Christ returns. Les understands Paul's phrase 'they that are Christ's at his coming' as the coming for the Body of Christ, not the Second Coming, because Paul is writing to the Church. He compares this order to the Israeli harvest: firstfruits, then the main harvest (the Body of Christ), then a later gathering.
Les sees three distinct companies: the firstfruits company of Christ and the Matthew 27 saints, the Church-age believers resurrected at the Rapture, and the Old Testament saints plus tribulation saints after the tribulation. He says the resurrection will not be general or all at once; every man is raised in his own company.
Les says no. Paul is writing to the Church, so the resurrection at His coming in this text is the coming for the Body of Christ, not the Second Coming. He also says the resurrection passage in 1 Corinthians 15:52–53 is only about the Body of Christ, not Old Testament believers or tribulation saints.
Les divides the resurrection order 'according to the Israeli harvest.' Christ and the firstfruits were the first little group, the main harvest is the Body of Christ raised at the Rapture, and after the Second Coming the Old Testament company and tribulation saints are gathered in their own company.
Old Testament believers were not included in the Church resurrection. Les teaches they are resurrected in their own company after the tribulation, about 75 days after Christ returns, based on Daniel 12. They are part of the first resurrection of all believers from Adam until the end.

made the books of the Bible come to life. When Les is teaching, it's so interesting that people say time just seems to fly by. And now, here is Les Feldick. Okay, You're all from various churches and denominations, and some of you are from within Tulsa, some of you have driven a distance, and some of you are visiting.
Three distinct stages of the resurrection
Les outlines the three resurrection stages: Christ and the Matthew 27 saints, the Church resurrection with the Rapture, and the resurrection of Old Testament saints after the Kingdom is established.
Firstfruits and the resurrection of church-age believers
Les explains the firstfruits were Christ and the Jewish believers who came out of the graves in Matthew 27, and that 'they that are Christ's at his coming' are the believers of the Church age.
Christ, the Body of Christ, and the Old Testament/tribulation company
Les shows the order in 1 Corinthians 15: Christ and the firstfruits, then the main harvest of the Body of Christ, then after the 75 days the Old Testament and tribulation saints.
Paul's resurrection passage is for the Church only
Les stresses that 1 Corinthians 15:52–53 is the resurrection of the Body of Christ only, not including Old Testament or tribulation believers.
Harvest order dividing the companies
Les divides the resurrection companies according to the Israeli harvest: Body of Christ first, then Old Testament company and tribulation saints after the Second Coming.
Every man in his own company
Les uses military company language to show the resurrection is not general but each believer comes in his own company; those at Christ's coming are church-age believers.
The first resurrection in three parts
Les summarizes the first resurrection: the Matthew 27 firstfruits, the Rapture of the Body of Christ as the largest group, and the Old Testament/tribulation saints 75 days after Christ returns.
1 Corinthians 15:20: But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
Christ is presented as the firstfruits, the beginning of the believer's resurrection order.
1 Corinthians 15:23: But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
This is the main verse for the resurrection order in the question.
1 Corinthians 15:52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Les connects this sudden change to the resurrection of the Body of Christ at His coming.
Matthew 27:52–53: And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Les identifies these saints as the firstfruits company with Christ.
Daniel 12:2: And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Les points to Daniel 12 as the clearest Old Testament place for understanding the resurrection of Old Testament saints.
No. Les Feldick teaches that the resurrection will not be general or all at once. In 1 Corinthians 15:23 every man is raised in his own order or company, and Les breaks that into three distinct companies: firstfruits, Church-age believers, and Old Testament/tribulation saints.
Les says the firstfruits were Christ and the Jewish believers who came out of the graves in Matthew 27. He calls this the first little group of resurrection people.
Les says no for the main passage. Paul is writing to the Church, so the resurrection described in 1 Corinthians 15:52–53 is for the Body of Christ only. Old Testament saints are resurrected separately afterward, about 75 days after Christ returns.
First, Christ and the Matthew 27 saints as firstfruits; second, the Church-age believers at the Rapture, the Body of Christ; third, the Old Testament saints and tribulation saints after the tribulation, about 75 days after Christ returns.
