Yes I believe in the Rapture, even though the word Rapture is not in the Bible. There is enough evidence to convince me that the rapture is real. One will be taken one will be left etc. Whether there is a rapture as we believe or not one of these days Jesus will return for us. Whether, pre,post or mid trib it doesn't matter just as long as we are ready to meet Him.

The be conscious "rapture" does not ensue interior the Bible. the assumption of the Rapture, however, is obviously taught in Scripture. The Rapture of the church is the form wherein God eliminates all believers from the earth with a view to make way for His righteous judgment to be poured out on the earth for the time of the Tribulation era. The Rapture is defined particularly in a million Thessalonians 4:13-18 and a million Corinthians 15:50-fifty 4. a million Thessalonians 4:13-18 describes the Rapture as God resurrecting all believers who've died, giving them glorified bodies, and then departing the earth with those believers who have been nevertheless alive, who've additionally been given glorified bodies. "For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a noisy command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the lifeless in Christ will upward push first. After that, we who're nevertheless alive and are left would be caught up including them interior the clouds to fulfill the Lord interior the air. And so we are able to be with the Lord continuously" (a million Thessalonians 4:sixteen-17). a million Corinthians 15:50-fifty 4 makes a speciality of the on the spot nature of the Rapture and on the glorified bodies we are able to acquire. "pay attention, I inform you a secret: we will not all sleep, yet we are able to all get replaced - in a flash, interior the quick while, on the final trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the lifeless would be raised imperishable, and we are able to get replaced" (a million Corinthians 15:51-fifty two). The Rapture is the magnificent experience we would desire to continually all be craving for. we are able to ultimately be loose from sin. we are able to be in God's presence continuously. there's a techniques too plenty debate over the which ability and scope of the Rapture. it is no longer God’s purpose. quite, relating to the Rapture, God needs us to “motivate one yet another with those words.”

RAPTURE is nowher found in God's word.
Yes there will be a second coming of Christ and those that are dead in Christ will raise first and meet him in the air and then those of us that are still alive and have been obedient and faithful will rise to meet our Saviour in the air.
2 Peter 2:20-22

No I don't. I do believe the dead in Christ will rise up and live in eternity with God. However I don't beleive the living in Christ will be "Raptured" away. I think it's possible, as all things with God are, but I don't think there will be this Rapture that is so popular in mainstream Christian religious denominations today.

I believe in the rapture but I also believe we will experience some rough times with the anti Christ before this happens and some natural disasters like we already previously experienced.

yes, i believe in the rapture cos i believe in the bible. Jesus says that we should watch and pray lest He comes and find us unawares. He says that two will be in the bed, one will be taken and the other will be left. Read Matthew 24 and 25.
Rapture will preceed the coming of the antichrist and finally the 2nd coming of Christ.

What? Every believer gets sucked into heaven before the end times? Where in the Bible does it say that?
Personally, I wouldn't bet on a rapture. I'd learn how to hunt and forage in the wilderness instead while the rest of civilisation gets flushed south. Heh heh.
Maybe a rapture refers to isolated communities of Christians who escape and survive the entire reign of the Beast and False Prophet of Revelation?
But really, where'd the idea of the 'rapture' come from?
