Or do you bealive you will be raptured in the end times? Because I hear many people speaking of their dearly departed waiting for them in Heaven. So which is it?

We will see, so will you. "And every knee shall bow". Repent the Kingdom of heaven is at hand and God does not want one of us to die, you will suffer eternal separation from a loving God that wants you to repent from your sins and change so that you might spend eternity with Him.

Betty,
According to the scriptures, Heaven will be open for occupancy when CHRIST returns to Judge each of us. The rapture is a misunderstood thought among some. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Thanks,

When I die I will be immediately taken to heaven. I had a near death experience while in an ambulance. I was starting to leave my body, it felt just like me too. I knew the second I left my toes, I would be standing before Jesus. I told Him that I could not die because I had not completed what I was sent to do. I then laid back down in my body. I also saw my dad the morning he died (I did not know that he died) with Jesus. He was so happy. If I am still alive when Jesus returns, then I will be raptured.

Jesus gave me a rapture dream because I whined, cried, and prayed about it for so long. According to my understanding, I know what happens and how it feels. I know the approximate time, what the night sky looks like, and cloud covering. The higher you go, the lighter you become. And the tingling is electrifying. No words to describe. It is very, very cool. Now, I can focus on other things of the Lord, without uncertainty of being left behind.

The Bible says that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. This is the promise to those who die "in Christ."
To those who will never experience death, but are fortunate enough to be alive when Jesus comes in the air for his church, the rapture will be a very welcome event.
Either way, those who went before us ARE waiting in heaven to greet us.

When you die you go directly to heaven or hell.
The rapture happens in the end-times.

For Catholics - it would be presumptuous to believe we are going to heaven, only God knows for sure. We hope and pray we can get there.
According to Catholic doctrine, even if we are destined to get to heaven, we probably won't go there immediately; many who are destined to be saved must still go to purgatory for some time to work off or pay for their burden of sin. We are all sinners, and it is only through the grace of Christ that we can hope to be saved.

I believe, what I want to, and it is my freedom to do so, as it is your right to believe What you want to. I don't know when the rapture is, but I believe it will happen someday,sometime. That is all I believe. Neither do I know if I will be raptured up, But I hope I will.

there will just be one, universal judgement both for the living and the dead. and that is on the Second Coming. those who died before us are not yet in heaver nor hell. all will be judged on the same time, on the same day!!!
