Rapture crapture. It's nonsense, as it's origin is a flawed man-made book.

You asked this question the wrong way. You must question EACH denomination about the rapture. For example, Southern Baptists *only* believe that Baptists will get into heaven. Not Mormons (obviously), not Jews, Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses, or any other world religion, and ESPECIALLY not those damn Catholics! Oh, and all those other Protestant denominations? To the lake of fire with them all! Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Pentecostals, etc. They will all go to hell for they do NOT preach or believe the TRUE word of God, and will thus burn for it.
Only Baptists do. *Southern* Baptists...*maybe* those Yankee Baptists, too, if they're lucky, but definitely Southern Baptists. So, about 10-15% of the population of Christians in the world. Maybe.

A billion would do it. A huge enough globular punch that will leave a moral gap in the world. And that will help to quickly expedite change the mindset/behaviors/beliefs/decisions
of city, state, local, national, and international policy around the world as prophesied in Isaiah, Daniel, Thessalonians, Hebrews, Peter, Ezekiel, and Revelation.
Jesus returns for Christians...They will have once been Baptists, Methodists, Catholics, Jewish, Muslims, Buddhists, Agnostics, Atheists, Pagans, Wiccans, & Satanists who met and came to know and love Jesus Christ and accepted him as their personal Lord and Savior.
God Almighty and Jesus Christ ALONE know the exact number that will be "caught up in the clouds" before The Great Tribulation begins, as prophesied in Revelations.
But knowing Jesus as I do, I know that even ONE left behind is one too many for Jesus Christ and Almighty God. But that is man's CHOICE, not Jesus Christ and Almighty God.

Scripture says Christians will suffer for Jesus' name. The "Rapture" to safety during times of tribulation is false and unscriptural. The New Testament also tells us that we must persevere to the end to be saved. Christians will suffer too. There is no "Left Behind" theology nor a "Health & Wealth Gospel"

The rapture is NOT Christian Doctrine.
The righteous will not just dissapear. Yes, the Holy will go back to Heaven, but everyone will see this, it's not like *blink* and everyone Holy is gone...
It was made up by some guy in England(I saw on History Channel)

there is not going to be a rapture. The lord will meet and greet the saints in the air and come back down and rule for a thousand yrs. on the throne of david on the earth.
1Th 4:16 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:
1Th 4:17 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.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates
.

He who has the Son, has life and He who does not have the Son, does not have life.
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
100% of those who have believed on and received Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be saved.

There is no clear cut answer.The ones who Help people feed the poor visit people in hospitals and prisons Jesus says are my sheep the ones who dont are goats and Jesus says away with you I dont know you.See it means very little to know about Jesus but what counts is to know Jesus by having a personal loving relationship with Him
