Well we know Paul didn't get the idea of trumpets from John...as 1 Thes is older and written before John wrote Revelation.EVERYONE!
If the first rapture is invisible and mid-trib, and the second rapture happens at the visible Second Coming, where does Paul get to call the first one a 'last trumpet' if there is another group being gathered later?
Perhaps the trumpets is in reference to a feats?
There's also trumpets of God and trumpets of Angels.
And where in Scripture are believers ever divided into two separate categories of 'Church' and 'Tribulation Saints' who get different salvation timelines?"
You got to distort scripture to fall in with that way of thinking
