Believe what you like. The Rapture, as a theory, is a bad one and has no bearing on one's Salvation in either case.
Look at all the Old Testament passages on the tribulation, not one refers to the church (Deut. 4:29-30; Jer. 30:4-11; Dan. 8:24-27; 12:1-2), nor does the New Testament ever speak of the church in relation to the tribulation (Matt. 13:30, 39-42, 48-50; 24:15-31; 1 Thess. 1:9-10, 5:4-9; 2 Thess. 2:1-11; Rev. 4-18), except as present in heaven. These passages clearly exclude the church from the tribulation period. Combine that with clear, explicit statements that promise her exemption from that time (Rom. 5:9; 1 Thess. 1:10; 5:9; Rev. 3:10).
Revelation 3:10 Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell upon the earth.
Theory? I think not.

Nope, it doesn’t. It does, however, give peace and joy knowing God’s promises to us knowing the He has always protected those who are faithful such as Noah and Lot. The Bride of Christ will be with Him in heaven for the seven years just as the ancient Jewish bride was secluded with her husband for seven days.
