It seems to me that the Holy Spirit is able to keep all of those who have put their trust in Jesus as their savior.
Even those who hope for a pre-tribulation rapture, post- trib or even no rapture and want to go throuh the judgement of God on those who reject Jesus, Gods gift to all men.
We (the church) are called the bride of christ, would you subject your bride to the worst conditions, including the risk of death, you could think of before you marry her?? I don’t think so. Neither would God. Think about that.
Of course the Holy Spirit is able to do that. All of those that have their trust in Jesus will be kept safe. That is His promise. However, if you put your trust in someone else that no longer applies.
Would a Christian knowingly do that? Of course not but Satan is the great deceiver. Scripture tells us Satan comes first, pretending to be Christ. If he comes saying he is going to gather you together to rapture you away will you believe him? Christ tells us he is really, really, good at his deception, so good Christ shortened the days of his tribulation for the sake of His elect.

We will all die physically. Those of us still here when the true Christ arrives will be changed so the "risk of death" shouldn't bother any of us. I don't know what "conditions" we will go through but there are promises made that Satan can't touch His elect and that "not one hair of our head shall perish". Much of what you read about in that time is talking about spiritual death. You are spiritually dead if you follow Satan's lies. You are no longer a child of God but a child of Satan.
Is the "rapture" part of that deception? I believe it is certainly suspicious. In the Olivet Prophecies, where Christ was telling His disciples about what to expect at the end of days He went into detail. NOWHERE did He mention any type of rapture. That would be a very important detail to leave out.
