Absolutely NOT. All will be JUDGED when Christ returns. There is no "rapture" as is being spoken of here. HIS return will come at the time that GOD has chosen and we will all face the judgment then. At that time we will be separated to heaven or hell. Have a great day!

We'll the bible says about the rapture:
The saviour's coming will be literal, personal, visible and worldwide. It says that it is not a secret rapture, it is a visible rapture to the whole world. It says that the dead in Christ will rise first and then we, which are alive shall be caught up in the clouds.
1Thessalonians 4:16,17. When people die or pass away, they know nothing.
Jesus described it similar to sleep. John11:11-14. When someone is asleep, they are usually wake up in the morning. It is the same with death. At the second coming / rapture the dead will be woken.
To answer your question the bible says that the rapture will be seen world wide. 1Thessalonians4:16. And it wont only be be seen by christians.
But I would like to tell you, that God loves you just the way you are. There is no need to be fearful of the rapture or anything. But instead choose to give your life to Jesus because He loves you and died for you on the cross, for my sins and for yours so that you will be taken to heaven at the second coming. Because Jesus wants you in heaven. HE WANTS YOU IN HEAVEN MORE THAN ANYTHING. But he has given you the chioce to accept him and love him. You are in my prayers.

No one goes to Heaven for their good deeds. We, as Christians, do not all have to wait for the rapture either. We could of died before then and went to Heaven at that time. It all depends on when we were born. God bless.

When we die, we will remain dead, unknowing and unfeeling, until the resurrection. Human souls will never ascend into heaven, that is solely God's domain. After the resurrection, the New Kingdom will be established here on a renewed Earth and that will be the eternal home of the saved.

No- when you die you go right to Heaven.
The Bible says that our earthly bodies will be resurrected during the rapture, but our souls will all ready be there.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17: "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

Catholics consume the real body and blood of Jesus in Holy Communion. He is alive in Heaven. We do not die but, are changed at death is all. Those denominations that do not receive him in Holy Communion but, are validly baptized then fall asleep until he returns in judgment. That is what is so wonderful about the Catholic Mass. We are at the Heavenly banquet at Mass already with the angels and the Saints and Jesus and his Blessed Mother.

Nope, saints are sinners. They're not taken directly to heaven.

I believe that "to die is to be with God." After all, when Jesus was on the cross, he told one of the criminals next to him "THIS day shall you be with me in Paradise." Not tomorrow, not after the rapture, but today. Have a peaceful night...

Nope. I believe we die and go to the judgement seat immediately and then we either head to heaven or to hell. Nobody is exempt because the bible says we all have sinned and we are reliable for every idle word we speak or spoke.
