Someone tell me which denomination is considered the church of philadelphia today. I was reading that the church of philadelphia will be taken pre trib and that a second rapture would be mid trib with the not so faithful christians.

Did you know that rapture is not mentioned in the Bible at all
Let me first say that JESUS IS COMING AGAIN. He just is NOT taking us out of this world while singing, "I'll fly away". I use to believe in THE RAPTURE. Then I found Chapter 17 of John. JESUS is in the garden just before his death praying for US - YOU AND ME.
John 17:15 (JESUS praying to The Father) "I pray NOT that thou shouldest TAKE THEM OUT OF THE WORLD, but that thou should keep them from evil."
Verse 20 - Neither pray I for these alone but for them also which shall believe on me through their word. (That is you and me.)
If JESUS asked NOT to take us OUT, we're NOT going! The Rapture theory has nothing to do with your Salvation. Just make sure you are ready to meet Jesus, no matter how or when you die, or when Jesus returns to the earth to set up His Kingdom.

I don't think that any one denomination would be considered as the church of Philadelphia; but each individual church as the one I was in a few years ago. It's more like if they are a Scripture church or not.
As for 2 raptures 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with the a shout,with the voice of an archangel, with the trumpet of God, And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are still alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. and thus we shall always be with the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15: 51-58 goes along with 1 Thessalonians 4.
I believe there is only one rapture and it will be at the beginning of the tribulation. Those that are not right with God will have to go through the tribulation.

The Bible speaks of only one Rapture.
It is widely debated whether it will be pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib. (Though the later two make no sense to me.)

How about zero being the correct number?
