if the rapture was to come and go, leaving you behind, would this mean you weren't quite as good a christian as you thought you were?

If you believe in Jesus Christ as your savior and ask for forgiveness you are saved, God can not lie and turn you back, if you have the holy spirit in you, you will be saved into an eternal life, people can call themselves christians, and not be saved.

We could talk for hours about tribulational dispensation. There are three schools of thought within the study of that event. So, if I didn't experience rapture "pre- trib" I would assume it would come later. Also sciptuers concerning this may indicate all three of these events happening separately.
So, in answer to your question, NO.
But if the rapture happened, and you realized you were wrong in your beliefs, how would you feel it was to late to make the choice for salvation?

Yes, your point! You should read or see the movie Left Behind. There is a preacher that is left behind and he helped lead many to Christ that were taken up in the rapture. Kind of crazy to think that you can lead others to Christ without being a true Christian yourself!

The Rapture is a false doctrine. Created in the 19th century the Rapture idea can not and was no held by the early church or even the reformers of the 16th century. Beware of new doctrine.

If you are a christian, you are a believer, and a christ follower. You will not get left behind in the rapture no matter how many sins you have commited. As long as you ask god into your heart and ask for forgiveness of your sins, you will go to heaven.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

As Bryton said, God will not turn His back on you. And if you claimed to be a Christian and was left behind, then you never were a Christian in the first place. If your doubting whether you are a good enough Christian, why don't you go to www.katgum.com and click on the "Are You a Good Person" tab to find out.

The Rapture doesn't have a biblical source. It comes from the 19th Century from a group in England. So, I don't believe in it, therefore your question is moot. Like the Gieco neanderthal says' "Do a little research."

You apparently do not understand the rapture. Christians will not be left behind.

Well, personally, I don't think it will be a pre-trib rapture, I think it will happen right before the final wrath, but if I'm wrong, yeah, I guess I would feel a bit left out and that I didn't measure up.

well the rapture doesnt hold much water as far as scripture is concerned. this tradition didnt start until about the 1800's, but i would say if it were real, then it'd mean you weren't a Christian at all.

haha the pretrib rapture isn't even going to happen. Jesus is only going to come back again once. He's not leaving nobody behind that follows Him.
