Dispensationalism isn't intrinsic to Rapture doctrine?

There is no difference, then, between the people who suffered for Christ for the past two thousand years and who would so suffer during the tribulation?

The tribulation itself isn't Christ removing his Church and dealing with the Jews alone as he did in an earlier dispensation and that isn't part of the doctrine supporting the Rapture?

You've never heard and agreed with Protestant pastors and others saying a specific parable from Christ himself really didn't apply to the Church Age?

You've never heard from Protestant pastors and others that some Scripture that quotes Christ doesn't apply to Christians in the Church Age because we are under grace and then they were under the law?

You've never learned or heard of the approaches to sharing your faith that never stray from Pauline texts?

You use the same books of the Bible that Christ did which are the books that were in the Septauagint?

Marcion didn't discard the OT and keep only the Pauline texts of the NT?

Since you're not a dispensationalist, then, you can't really agree with a great deal of the doctrine and usage of scripture that supports the Rapture. So, good, I'm glad to know we shed that Rapture business.

Have a nice day

Well Mr Rashputin- you avoid shell fish then? Stone people for adultery? And I am sure that you have two separate refriges in your house and keep a Kosher kitchen eh? I don't think you really know what Marcion heresy was because all manuscripts of it are lost. But what is your point? Yes we are under grace- The amazing grace that lead to my salvation! I told you earlier that I am a pan tribulationist-it all pans out in the end! I do believe in the possibility of the rapture because I believe that as the salt of the earth we preserve and need to be taken away to a better defensive position, so Satan and his followers can enter the killing ground of Armageddon.
