Is there a possibility that the Rapture occurred yesterday at 3 pm (GMT) and no one noticed because we are not following G-d's Will?

Christians can know that they have salvation. Our salvation is based on accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Having done that, I am saved. Hence we do not have to worry that the Rapture occurred and we were left behind.

No, because there is no such thing as the rapture. The rapture theory was invented about 200 years ago by some people who decided to use a couple of verses to make up a new 'doctrine'. It is a false doctrine. The Bible teaches that when Christ comes to this Earth again, every eye will see, and every ear will hear...it won't be a secret. There are many false doctrines in Christianity today because people insist on taking things out of context, and fantasy. The Bible said to beware of false prophets. If you know what the Bible says, false prophets, false teachers, and the anti-christ will not be able to fool you....

Following God's Will does not make you miss the Rapture.
It is like not getting on the FIRST CLASS of the airplane. There will be a lot of CHRISTIANS sitting in the COACH part of the airplane.
However whatever part of the airplane you end up on, everyone has the same destination which is BEMA judgement for Christians in Heavan who are saved.
I am a Christian and I know I am still here. So I am a safe.
Salvation by Grace and not by works scriptural reference:

8 God's grace has saved you because of your faith in Christ. Your salvation doesn't come from anything you do. It is God's gift. 9 It is not based on anything you have done. No one can brag about earning it.

No, it is not possible.
When the rapture happens, the church (bodies of Christ) will be gone.
The buildings will remain, but the people will be gone. There will be widespread "reasons" that this happened, but soon all will just accept that it did happen.
Another thing that will be missing. It is something you cannot see, but you will feel that it is gone as soon as it is.
The Holy spirit is here right now until the end of the age of grace (rapture). Once the Holy spirit is gone, all controls on evil will be gone, and evil will have full rein on this earth.
While it sometimes feels as if evil has overtaken good, in the words of a famous song "We aint seen nothing yet" is very true in this case.

My dear it has nothing to do with following God's will. He
will rapture Christians when He deems the correct time.
If you're a Christian and sitting on a bar stool, you'll be raptured. It has nothing to do with what we do, it's God's
plan, not mans.

Nobody knows what God's will is except Him. We all just think we know it. We follow our own ideas. The rapture?

The Parousia is one event when the 7th Trumpet is blown.This will be after the Antichrist arises,and after the Mark is in use.

Could be and it could have happened 1000 years ago. Keep on trucking and try to open up your mind and consciousness to the fact that we haven't even scratched the surface of knowledge and the universe. The spiritual realm may hold information that we can't even imagine. There just may be things out there that blow our "elevated minds." We don't have it all figured out yet even though many of us think we do.

Not only possible, but it is very likely that people will miss the very thing they are waiting for. People look for very specific things that they have imagined and if it doesn't happen the way they imagined, they will miss it.

please note that the rapture was invented by the Plymouth Brethren in the 1800s. Search the Church Fathers, the Scholastic Catholics and the Reformers. You won't find a trace of it! hmmmm........ interesting
