The latest news from my reliable sources is that the only people allowed to enter Heaven during the Rapture will be married homosexuals. Who'd have thought?!

I believe the rapture happens after the tribulation. Since the evangelicals will be waiting for Jesus, they will fall under the influence of the antichrist because they think Jesus is coming for them. If the rapture was to occur first, why do we have a detailed description of what will happen during the tribulation? The Bible was written for the believers, remember?

Basically, a trumpet sounds, Jesus comes down from the clouds, the believers who had died will rise and then the living believers will rise and we will all meet Jesus and we will receive new bodies. That's what "the rapture" is. The Bible never says "rapture" but some people to sell books has put a name to this and that's what they called it...the rapture.

I don't know what religion you are, some do believe in the rapture. However there will be no raising of people into heaven. Your soul goes to God not you. Don't let anybody tell you only true believers go to heaven because that's a lie. Jesus said" In My Fathers house there are many mansions" That means there are many ways to God. Not just one way.

So, you are saying that just you evangelicals are going to heaven? nice try! Pride is one of the seven deadly sins. More evangelical ministers commit sins against god and expect to get away with it than any other group. The only evangelical preacher I've ever heard of who actually almost lives the way Jesus wants him to is Billy Graham. all the others have stolen money, committed adultery, bragged about their wealth. and lied numerous times until they were finally caught, and then had the audacity to ask their supporters for more money. Evangelicals are rude, bigotted, arrogant, and unwilling to learn. that doesn't get you into God's company.

True, the rapture is a false theory spread during the early 20th century by a man named J.N. Darby. He is one of the main founders of the DISPENSATIONALIST movement that spread throughout popular evangelical conservatism when the seminaries split between Liberal and Conservative lines.

There is no rapture, that is the resureection of the dead on the final day of Earth, the day of the Lord and no believers will be left then. The final believers are killed as martyrs of the antichrist midway in his reign. The unmarked shall all be removed by him.

The first answer is right on the money. There is no such thing as the Rapture.

Nothing. The rapture is a false theory to sell books. Read your bible.

No such word...'Rapture' in the Bible.
It's a man-made doctrine. not from God.
Read the Bible and check out the scriptures closely.
