Do you believe in the rapture of the church?

    As a Christian I believe that a time is coming when the earth we are living in now will be no more. As the Bible tells us that we are God's children and at the end of time He will call us home and that is when the rapture of the church will take place.

    As the Bible says in the book of Revelation two will be sleeping and one will be taken away,that is when Jesus Christ our Savior will come to bring those who believe in Him home. All these will happen in a twinkle of an eye such that non believers will not notice and they will remain waiting for God's judgment.

    For me, it would be heaven-bound. At last, I am heaven-bound. That is what the rapture means to me.
    The single event that declares the church age has come to an end, is the rapture of the church. The church is defined as all those who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior during the church age, or that time from Pentecost until the rapture occurs. The rapture is that event when, at the midnight cry, Jesus will come for His own.

    Scripture doesn’t really support it at all, but it does support something like it.

    At the last days some of the saints are supposed to be called to a great secret gathering of all the prophets. This doesn’t seem to involve people being taken up to heaven though.

    The saving of the saints will happen, just not in such a physical sense like the rapture.
