At least that is what I believe and so I warn others when the opportunity arises.

I don't "warn" people about their belief in a post tribulation rapture. I could care less if people believe in a pre-trib, mid trib or post trib rapture. As paul says, it is a MYSTERY.

That being said, I don't like the way some people, like the author of this article, try to impugn the motives of good people who believe differently than they do on this issue. Men of good will can believe in a pre-tribulation rapture and they have verses which back up that belief. Men of good will can believe in a mid-tribulation rapture and they have verses which back up that belief. Men of good will can believe that the whole book of Revelation was fulfilled in 70AD and that there will be no rapture and they might even have a verse or two to back up that notion.

At any rate, eshcatology is not central to Christian belief. So we ought not to be questioning either the intelligence or the good will of those who disagree with us on this issue.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. (1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV)

Let's don't forget that.

Would you warn them if you felt they were in jeopardy?

Do you feel I question your intelligence or good will. If you do I haven't made my case properly and I apologize. That was never my intention, nor do I believe that.
