That is irrelevent to my point.

You reject the concept of the rapture because the word is not in the Bible.

I pointed out that the word trinity is not in the Bible, either.

Neither words are in the Bible, but I believe in them both.

And the Trinity is screamingly obvious in the term "Father, Son and Holy Ghost." The Trinity is in the Bible, but the word isn't.

No. I reject it because it's theologically bankrupt. The fact that it's not in the Bible is only dressing-on-the-side to this Doomsday salad.

The Trinity is in the Bible, but the word isn't.

I said the trinity is present in the Bible, but it was never defined as three-person/one God (substance) until later on at Nicaea in 325. It was generally accepted, but hotly debated since Scripture doesn't speak of the triune nature, just the persons.
