The Rapture is religious superstition. It really doesn't matter what the minor variations in that superstitious belief are.

Not that I condemn anyone, but I do believe in a Pre-Trib Rapture simply because of the Scripture that describes the Rapture where it says in part that "....dead in Christ shall rise FIRST (before anything else happens). Then those who are alive (believers, bride of Christ, Church and etc.) and remain shall be caught up to meet Him in the midway air." The Church is not made to suffer wrath simply because they accepted Jesus and lived a sanctified life after salvation.

Those who know Jesus right now, will not have a "fall-out" as you call it. They will be raptured and be with him for all eternity. Jesus will actuall y take his church up to heaven before all the bad stuff will happen. Then all the stuff predicted if Revelation will happen. It gets those who don't believe in Jesus to do so, Some will before the first seal is to be opened but others will go through many of the bad stuff before they come to Christ. Others will follow the Anti Christ. And that will be a sad time for them.

I am a Christian myself and am not totally convinced that we won't endure part of the Tribulation. This is something, that no matter how much discussed, doesn't have a definite answer in the Bible. Some things are not for us to know. Oh, and btw, I have no authority to condemn anyone to hell (I'd much rather condemn them to Heaven, if I had that power). God is the one and only true judge and you have to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Pre-Trib rapture is a new idea to the church, having started in the late part of the 19th century. Before then it was believed that it would be a time of great tribulation for the church, and most would be martyred or lost.
If the traditional view is correct, a lot of people will lose faith when these terrible things start happening.
I don't believe either.

I dont equate "being so holy" with believing in God's promises. I believe in Jesus Christ and He will come and rapture His church before the real suffering starts. This is not just for me and a select few but for all who believe in Him.

I'm confused. R&S people are funky. How can 'Trib' be true for some and not others? What happens to Ghandi, one of the greatest people that ever lived? He was not baptized. He wasn't Christian. What about him?
To answer your question, as I understand it, Pre-Tribbers must be so holy they go first because the bible says they will. The way some of them lord it over everybody else probably loses them their stature and pre-trib privileges. They are commiting the sin of pride. They will end up here frying just like any other shmuck.

The Rapture is not biblical. Jesus will only have one second coming, not 2 or 3. All who endure til the end will be saved. And God sends no one to hell. Only you can make the choice of which path you take, the path to eternal life or the path to hell. Your choice.

Believers in Christ Jesus are not appointed to wrath. Tribulation has been portrayed as a time like none other as far as suffering is concerned.

Well...that is what is says in revelation. The dead in Christ will rise, and all that are right with the lord. Everyone else is stuck...if they don't except the # of the beast, and survive tribulation, they will get another shot.
