FYI...I am only responding to your enciteful post to prove that a Christian can believe in the rapture of the church, and a pre-trib one at that, without being likened to radical cult-like diehards (with the stubbornness of Iraqi insurgents and New Orleans looters).

You can most certainly believe however you please about the subject of end-times. The most important issue is, however, what do you believe about getting into heaven? Is salvation by grace through faith in the sacrificial payment of Jesus Christ on the cross? Is it by faith plus good works or can you be saved purely by earning your way there? That's the "meat", all else becomes gravy besides this most important doctrine.

Scripture says one day "we will know even as we are known". The time for arguments will be past and will probably even seem silly.

There is no probably about it my FRiend. Believers can, and do, disagree on the details. A seeker stumbling into these threads would surely be led to "Christians are idiots" side of the balance. The fifth grade name-calling (much of which I expect will be directed at me after I press "post") and "My Bible is Better than Your Bible" pissing contests do more to spurn seekers than any single thing we do in the Name of the Lord. I am certain He is not proud of any of this nonsense.
