Pro and Con on this. I can cite just as many verses that “Rapturists” used to defend their position as there are verses that don’t support it. Problem is that the Church is so focused on this Rapture they forget the important things the Church should be doing.

Indeed, including

Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22)

Belief in the Rapture or disbelief in the Rapture does not affect my salvation in Yashua. I do not care one way or other if people go around starry eyed believing they’re suddenly going to be shot up in the sky ... to me the whole thing is a scam by Satan to get your mind off Yashua and ignore what you are as a Christian and your purpose on Earth which is to glorify Him and witness for Him.
