Just some scripture verses to ponder - maybe they are supportive of Pre-trib, maybe not....
I Thessalonians 1:10
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
Romans 1:18-3:20 has many mentions of the wrath to come as well as who it is meant for. It strikes me as difficult to believe that the coming wrath (which points clearly to the tribulation period) is meant for believers to experience - particularly the wrath mentioned in the I Thessolonians verse above as well as Romans 5:9, Ephesians 5:6, Colossians 3:36, et al.
The only other definition I can see for Wrath in the New Testament is the coming wrath related to the eternal burning in the lake of fire.
For every arguement against the pre-tribbers, I also have seen just as convincing arguements against mid-trib or post-trib.
To each there own. Will a pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib theology in and of itself prevent one from coming to Salvation through faith in Jesus Christ?

Keep in mind that Mid-tribulationists see the wrath of God as the SECOND half of the so-called tribulation period and seventieth week of Daniel. I have sort of pseudo-named the first half as the "wrath of satan" on Christrians and Israel.
