I can only speak from my personal experience. Here is what I have experienced firsthand. The doctrine of the secret rapture is of great significance to those who embrace it. They wish everyone did. They can be patient and polite in attempting to win a person over to that doctrine. But if the person continues, in a polite and logical-rational way, to present counter-evidence, the veneer of patience quickly deteriorates. Pretty soon it’s insult time.

This has been my experience. Perhaps future experiences will differ.

I have noticed that tendency for ANY doctrine. People do not take it well when others disagree with them even if they use Scripture to support their position.

That said, my other two questions remain.

Why and how does the belief in a secret rapture preclude such activities as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, ministering to the sick, and visiting those in prison?

And responding with comments about how rude someone’s behavior was is not relevant to aforementioned activities. It does NOT disprove their point or prove yours.
