If there was a sudden rapture, wouldn’t those “left behind” understand immediately that they were wrong, realize there is a God and believe?
Sort of removes any need for faith.
Also, God has never removed believers from the consequences fo sin. Often they were the first to show up and help mop up, bringing people to christ in the process.
I don’t believe in a rapture as it has been explained by the churches who preach it.
The plain things are the main things.

You're trying to look at this thing logically. The doctrine is inherently illogical.

God answered your question long ago...His answer was, no...

2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Also, God has never removed believers from the consequences fo sin.

All Christians are saved from the consequences of sin...
