I do now, and prophesies are happening all the time, Jesus said that not one stone would be left on another at the tabernacle, it was burned to the ground.
It was prophesized in the old testament that the Mesiah would come and be born in Bethleham.
It was prophesized with many things about being rejected by many.
It was prophesized that Israel would be torn apart, and later would declare thier independence again. that happened in 1948.
There are so many more once you start reading.

I already do believe in Christ but the bible does say that after the rapture and other things there will still be those who will not believe in him and will choose to follow the anti-Christ and other hearts will be hardened and they will not be able to accept Christ. Also during the 7 years tribulation period after the rapture people will be forced to take either the mark of the beast/anti-Christ or accept Christ and refuse that mark which will almost mean certain death for those who do. Those who take the mark will also not be able to accept Christ even when they find out they were wrong because they already made their choice when they took the other mark. anywho, hope this helped.

Grace unto you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Pst - it's already 2006AD, too late for any rapture theories since the last(not just past) millennium had two false/true ends, Y2K being the false; and also had a 3 1/2 (42 mos) countdown from Grenwich, which began in June 1996. So it's now too late for any pre/mid/post trib rapture theories. What remains is "endure unto the end" to be saved(only) by grace(only).
Pst - everything the Bible prophesied did NOT come true. Eg: the prophecy for Nineveh FAILED when the people believed God(Grace), and then the no name king (Law) disrobed, stepped down, and sat in the ashes. Not to mention "whether prophecies, they shall FAIL" (1Cor 13).
Indeed, let us believe in Christ: the end of the law, our peace who hath abolished the law, the Saviour of the world, the author of eternal salvation, for all, by grace void of such law law.
The God of all grace make you perfect
after ye(do err) suffer awhile (in law law)
The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Since the Rapture is not a Biblical prophecy, I don't believe that it would have any affect on my believing or not believing in Christ.
As far as if "everything that the Bible prophesied came true", Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah based on particular prophesies that they claim he fulfilled. Jew do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah based on particular prophesies that they claim he did not fulfill. So I don't know that this argument works, either.

The rapture was not foretold in the Bible. The concept comes from a vision or hallucination that a 15 yr old Scottish girl had in 1831. Sooooooooo it is not Biblical in its' source at all. I find it amazing that some people will follow some demagogue because he/she holds up The Bible and announces that something is written in it. Be a critical thinker, find out for yourself and don't believe everything you are told by some joker trying to separate you from your money to build additions on his/her church or villa or make the next payment on the Escalade.

Too bad the rapture isn't Biblical. This widely believed theory came from somebody poorly interpreting one Bible text.
The rapture will never happen, but Jesus will come again. Nobody will be "raptured" before the Second Coming of Jesus.

No, because the Bible doesn't predict that. That's just a heretical interpretation propogated by the ignorant.
If the Hal Lindsay version of things came about, the right conclusion would be that it was a deception of some kindmodelled after the end-times hysteria.

Wouldn't it be too late to be "saved" if you didn't already believe?
Personally I wonder if the "rapture" is a belief that has been enhanced, elaborated on by a series of popular novels?

I would not change my position. I try as best I can to adhere to the teachings of Christ, which coincedentaly are very similar to the teachings of Buddha, and Lao Tzu, and Confucious. But no I would not bow to worship him. I will not subjugate to any man. If Christ came to me and asked of me, I would give, but I would do that for any man. If asked to walk with Christ, by Christ, I would surely do so, but I would not follow after him as a God, I would revere him as a Man, and would show the respect he would deserve as such.

I already believe in Christ so I don't need the Rapture to happen for me to experience faith...at that time, I will be in praise and worship! Blessing the name of the Lord for His faithfulness and knowing that I am about to be caught up to be with my God! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course. the only catch is I already believe in Christ so I know the second coming is going to happen.
