The Tribulation and God’s wrath are not the same. The tribulation comes during the reign of the anti-christ. The rapture will happen before the day of wrath. This is how I see it.

"The Tribulation and God’s wrath are not the same."

Agreed. Many Christians seem to think we will have a good time until the Rapture. Also, Rapture and Salvation are NOT the same thing. If you read Revelation 2-3 the 7 churches have Jesus telling them what He thought about them. All of them have something Jesus said that they had to fix except Philadelphia. Rev 3:10 tells us they will be the only church Raptured. All the others need to fix something. Only the church of brotherly love will make it. Because they are all churches, perhaps they will have salvation, but not be Raptured. Also, Mat 25 talks of foolish virgins. Only virgins adopted into Jacob's family can be the Bride of Christ but the foolish ones were obviously left behind. No adoption means they have no inheritance.

It always makes me nervous when I hear, "I'm saved so I'm going". Jesus will decide that at the Rapture. Most Christina today fit in with the church of Laodicea.
