I don't think the bible covers something like that. I think most would hope God would not hold that sin against us because of the possibility of being unable to repent of the sin as most Christians do about any sins they commit. Hardliners might think sin is sin and if there was no repentance then no forgiveness. I hope that is not the case.

How many comings are there by Jesus?
One future coming. He will come from heaven in like manner as He ascended there (Acts 1:9-11).

Is the "postrib one and only coming" at the white horses, postrib, depicted in Rev 19?
Yes.

Or is the completely different coming in Rev 14:14 the one and only coming ?
Both passages refer to the same one and only future coming of Christ with each giving different details about it. Not every passage about the second coming of Christ contains the same details relating to that event. This shouldn't be hard to understand.

None of those verses mention a rapture. If they do and I missed it...post it.
The rapture will occur when believers are gathered to meet Jesus. Both Matthew 24:29-31 and the parallel passage of Mark 13:24-27 reference the gathering of the elect when Jesus comes. The elect refer to believers in the church (Romans 8:31-34). So, what other gathering of believers can that refer to except for the one that will occur when Jesus comes, as also written about in verses like 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 and 2 Thessalonians 2:1?

How is the rapture as you put it....clearly taught....here.
It refers to a gathering of believers when Jesus comes just as 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17. They refer to the same gathering of believers that will occur when Jesus comes. Very simple.

I've mentioned it to you several times. I spoke of the social economical conditions.
Do you need me to repeat it?
Scripture does not speak of "social economical conditions" relating to when Jesus comes, so you're just making that up. What scripture teaches is that people will be spiritually oblivious to what's going on and to the fact that God is angry with them and they will not see it coming when His wrath comes down on them when Jesus returns unexpectedly as a thief in the night. In no way, shape or form does that support the imaginary pre-trib rapture theory.

Christ brings back those in spirit form that have already died. Reunited them with their body...then raptures the christians that have not died yet....then takes them to His Fathers house where He has built rooms for us. John 14: 1-4.
It does not say He will take us to heaven. He will bring heaven to us. Otherwise, what is the point of us meeting Him "in the air"? Why not just meet Him in heaven instead if He was going to turn around and go back there?
