No need to add all that bogus stuff about pre-trib/mid-trib/pre-warth. No wonder folks are confused and look questionably at all these humanly-devised theories.
Just say what the Bible says. When Christ returns His saint are raised from the dead or, if living, their bodies are changed to be like His, and we are with Him forever.
But that's so boring. You can't build a franchise empire on that kind of simplistic, straight-forward theology! ;-)
