John 17: 15 Jesus said, “I pray NOT that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.”

You have repeatedly used this verse to show there will be no rapture, but you are taking it out of context. Jesus is praying for his Disciples. Read the entire section.

John 17:12 says, “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.”

If Jesus was talking about everyone, then he meant we would all be saved except the man of perdition. In this instance he was praying for his Disciples only.
