For siamese twins? There are many alive today. What happens if one is a christian and one isn't? Does the non-christian get to go along for the ride?
I'm quite serious here. What do you rapture believers think would happen. Don't dodge now! Your honest answer please

Whichever twin is bigger gets to make the decision about where they go. That's the law.

What makes you think that God isn't powerful enough to take the one who is a believer & leave the one who isn't? Either God has the power to do anything and everything or He has no power at all - that is the simple and economic choice that we are all face with when confronted with these issues. I believe that God will make a way to separate them so that the believer will go and the non-believer will not. How he will do that is beyond my understanding.
Note that this is not a cop-out - it points out the intrinsic difference between believers and non-believers. As a believer, I expect NOT to understand a lot of what God does and knows - that is because He is God and what makes Him God. An unbeliever's lack of faith renders him incapable of accepting that God knows and is able of doing anything beyond his grasp. Therefore he finds himself struggling with and rejecting the very concepts that I take so readily on faith. It is the basic difference in us that can only be explained and overcome by bridging the gap of belief and faith – not through logic and explanation, but through faith and trust.
P.S. For all the politically correct unbelievers out there – the term is conjoined twins, not Siamese twins.

Personally I do not believe in rapture. This is another false doctrine which christian embraced for quite a long time.
The exposition of Matthew 24: 40, 41 of which the majority of the denominational church refer to as the RAPTURE. It is for you to analyze, judge and search the scripture and find out the veracity of the statement presented here. remember, God’s Word has the sole authority on this matter.

When the rapture occurs, the believer is "translated". Meaning a mortal body with all it's flaws is changed to an immortal body. So, all the flaws and defects are healed in the believer.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53, "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."

Since God is quite capable of anything, I would imagine that the saved one would be raptured and the unsaved one would remain on the earth. Just because it seems crazy for us to think that this could happen, when the rapture occurs, it will be evident that God can do anything he pleases.

What gives you the idea that the rapture is around the corner? And I believe it the soul not the body that goes to heaven and siamese twins have two different souls.

I believe GOD will take the body of the believing twin and leave the other behind with just its half of the body, alive and well.
not that that will be any better for that person, in the end for they will still be lost.

There is on such thing, You will get all kinds of peoples interpetation from the bible and their sciptures, but try this word that nobody mentions or is mentioned in the bible,,, common sense. People still living out of HalLindseys books, anything to do with 'fear' is not of God or Love period I dont care what your scriptures say. We serve a God of Love period!
Jesus didn't die for this kind of non sense, It is Gods deisre for NONE TO PERISH!!

Evan though their mistakingly in one body, they each have a soul; so yes if one believes and the other doesnt; the one that believes will walk through the gates of heaven. While unfortunately the other will be tossed in to the lake of fire increasing the gerth of hell.

Honestly? I think the non-believing twin better have something to staunch the flow of blood, because only the Born Again twin would be taken.
Peace.
