The day will overtake us? 1 Thessalonians 5:4 says otherwise.The word rapture is not in the bible... But caught up is! We are warned in scripture over and over again that that day will over take us as a thief and for us to be ready for it to happen at any moment and at any time.
Can they still receive Christ if they are left behind ?
As long as you're a living, breathing human you can repent and find eternal life. There is a "rapture", which is nothing more than the catching away of holy ones at the Lord's return and first resurrection. But Pre-Trib Rapturist's have confused tribulation with wrath. Everyone will go through tribulation. The Lord's return and first resurrection occur just before the pouring out of wrath. It comes as a thief in the night only to those who are asleep, i.e. the lost.Can they still receive Christ if they are left behind ?
Remember God cannot destroy where there is righteousness afoot. I refer to the story of Lot where God could not destroy the town until he was safely out of harms way. This is why I am pre-trib. I cannot believe that God would let these plagues fall while there is still righteousness on planet earth.
What Should A Person Do If They Miss The Rapture ?
Jump for joy! Then go back to work in the field.
If the topic assumes the rapture and tribulation in a certain order/existence please, trolls, resist the temptation to try to derail the thread with "there is no such thing..." blah blah blah...
That is not the point, you look a fool (even if you are right), and the constant bickering you cause is a nusance and eyesore.
If you don't subscribe to a particular dogma or teaching...
BUT OUT!!!
My bible says that Jesus Christ comes as a thief. If a Christian is ready for it to come at any moment and at any time he has no worries. This is bible... There are plenty of instances of this in scripture.
