Nobody is saying what you or they will have to face. Here's what scripture says.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
See any in there who will not have to "face death"? Christ said the generation which sees the things leading up to that time will not pass. One of the markers was the gathering of Israel back to the land it was promised. That started in 1948. The gathering of the nations against Israel was another. See any of that happening currently?
Not one of us is promised that we will not pass before that day. I have not heard one person express the belief that they "will not have to face death" simply because they belief in the rapture as told in scripture.
The Thessalonians heard a rumor that the resurrection of the dead had already occurred so Paul wrote them again, calming them down.
2 Thessalonians 2
Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
