I am a "non-denominational" Christian. I absolutely believe that there will be a rapture, it is supported by the 1 thes. vrs that was mentioned in this thread. However I do not believe in the pre-trib views. It just does not make sense to me, that God would take all the believers away in a time of great tribulation and testing, to leave the rest of the world to figure this thing out for themselves, with a few new believers, or baby christians to lead them, and teach them.... I know most ppl who support the pre-trib rapture view cant fathom God leaving His ppl here to suffer through the tribulation. But I believe we will be protected from the natural disasters that are going to take place. Because as His children, we recieve His dislipine and not His wrath. However, the church will undergo tremendous presecution, which, in all honesty, God has always allowed his followers, and even His own son, to go through.....So basically, I personally support either a mid- or end- trib rapture. Rev. 14:14-19 speaks of the harvesting of the earth, that could very well be the ref. for the rapture. Honestly there's no telling when it will happen. Its not for us to know, or be worried about. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Everyone has their own views and beliefs, and sometimes we have to agree to disagree. Your beliefs on this matter will not save you or damn you, its not a maker or breaker. So research for yourself, and see what makes the most sense to you. Best of luck
