Bornagain15 and Starcrystal,
As I read the post following mine, and then reread mine, I may have caused confussion. If I read Starcrystal's reply right, then I need to clarify.
Here is what I believe: If a Christian DOES NOT believe in the rapture or believes that it will take place sometime during or after the tribulation, and the rapture comes "pre-trib.", that Christian is still going in the rapture. When ever the rapture, all Christians will go. What you believe about the rapture is NOT a salvation issue.
I am sorry for the confusion. In rereading my first sentence to your question, Bornagain, I see my mistake.
And again, YES, we Christians must prepare for the tribulation, and if we go through it we are ready. However, if we are ready and we are raptured before the tribulation, well, praise God, we are in heaven.
I am really sorry about the confusion.
