Let me share with you how to ensure that you meet the rapture and not left behind to face the antichrist and forced to wear the mark 666.
Well, first you must acquire the characters qualifying you to be a citizen of heavenly kingdom. Read and strive for the characters and qualities the beatitude and sermon on the mount talk about. Then remember and do Jesus' new commandment to love one another as your brothers and sisters and love your enemies and involve in his great commission. Thirdly, just disassociate the behaviours Jesus warns against as represents by his seven letters to the Seven Churches. Do what he pleases.
I may add another one which one must develop and that is the fruit of the Holy Spirit suggested by Paul.
Cultivate and acquire as suggested above and your rapture is assured.
Bible is the only book whether it is regarded as myth or not has the end times so clearly prophecized and how to get to heaven by acquiring the kingdom citizenship qualities.

I plan to be in the Rapture. I've confessed my sins turned my Life over to the Lord and am with His help doing my best to live for Him.

The rapture is a false teaching deceiving millions of people who will probably take the mark of the beast when it comes out saying to themselves "this isn't the mark for the rapture hasn't happened yet.
Q: In the rapture theory what is the first thing that happens ?
A: a resurection "the dead in Christ rise first.
Read Rev. 20:4-5 you will see the beheaded for not taking the mark of the beast and it says this is the first resurection. No resurection or rapture until after the mark of the beast and christians heads get cut off.
The second problem with your statement is that the book of Revelation does not one time mention an antichrist. The word antichrist is only mentioned 5 times in 4 verses and they are found in 1 & 2 John only. The apostle John said that the antichrists are people that deny the Father and or the Son, also those that believe that Christ did not come in the flesh. Relating that to modern day you could say that the people who believe Christ will come invisibly at the rapture would be saying that He is not coming in the flesh. Hence you sir are the spirit of the antichrist according to the apostle John.Get a concordance out and check it out if you don't believe me or contact me through https://www.waywardsonministries.com if you would like to discuss this further. But sad to say you have been deceived by wolves in sheeps clothing, your preacher/teacher is a liar and knows not God.
Seek Him out on you own.

There is a third way, reserved perhaps for just the Chosen, but in reality all who accept Jesus are the Chosen aren't they? Anyway, the third way is to go before God without the help of Jesus which Jesus suggests is far from secure. However Jesus also tells his followers during the passover feast that many of them would live to see the anti-christ so unless re-incarnation should be one of our tools, that person against Jesus is and has Biblical influence. Which means that many have the spirit of the anti-christ as their banner already. Could it be those who condem the world which Jesus didn't do?

The Antichrist was Nero Caesar who has been dead for nearly 2000 years ("Nero Caesar" is 666 in Hebrew numerology). The "Rapture" is a modern belief with no basis nor mentioning in the bible.
Nothing about Revelations is "end times", it was a book intended to help the spirit of the crucified Christians during the time of Roman persecution begun under Nero.
Sorry if I burst your bubble.

If there is a rapture, it must come AFTER the rise and fall of the antichrist, otherwise you're sayng there are 2 appearances by Jesus.
But truthfully, rapture is not in the Bible. Neither is Hell. The verse about the lake of fire refers to Satan and his fallen angels.

I want to be taken up to Heaven before all of that starts. Those are going to be dark, very difficult times. Accepting Jesus as your Savior and asking Him for forgiveness is the only way to get to the kingdom of Heaven. John 3:16

I thought Christians are saved by faith, but, from these things, it sounds, as though, you are suggesting that one must, also, be perfect. If following all the things you stress qualities of the 'heavenly kingdom', it seems that no one would go to heaven.
I would simply suggest some revision of your statement.

you could not be more wrong about the way to Heaven.
how dare you present that hogwash as truth.
what you say is a total lie.
there is only ONE WAY to Heaven.
Here is what the one true Living God has to say about salvation:
John 3: The Words of Jesus Christ (God in the flesh)
3. "Verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4. Nicodemus saith unto Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God."
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
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.
17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18. He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
there is NO other way.

Repentance, hope and good deeds. God knows your heart and I pray that He guides you. Please know that the judgment day is coming and you still have time to prepare. God did not create you for no reason. You have a choice to go to hell or heaven. You are responsible for your actions. You are not a sinner by design and Jesus did not die for sins of others. This is not fair and God does not hurt anyone for sins of others. Please use your head and choose wisely, decide now before your time is up. Do not wait for Jesus, as he is not coming back, at least not according to Quraan and common sense (though most Muslims and all christians believe he is coming back). Read Quraan, Know the facts. 10:36 But most of them follow nothing but fancy: truly fancy can be of no avail against truth. Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do. 53:28 But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth. 47:14 Is then one who is on a clear (Path) from his Lord, no better than one to whom the evil of his conduct seems pleasing, and such as follow their own lusts?

Since I don't believe in the rapture because it is not Biblical, I would wish to be one of the Elect and face the beast at the synagogue of satan -- allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through me that I would not blaspheme the Holy Spirit ... and commit the one unforgivable sin.
