Philip was raptured after his encounter with the Ethiopian.
Paul was raptured in 2 Corinthians 12:2.

Two other examples for you.

Maranatha!

Paul was evidently un-raptured then, because he travelled to Rome, wrote a couple of epistles from there, was imprisoned and then beheaded on Caesar Nero’s orders, and his body is entombed in the Basilica of St. Paul’s Outside-the-Walls to this very day.

Mmmmmm. Phillip was transported, not “taken up”. Not a rapture, although certainly supernaturally........wow.....I can’t wait to talk to Phillip about that.

2 Cor 12 is rough. I lean towards Dr Constable: God revealed something deeply personal to Paul in order to strengthen him, he couldn’t tell whether he was physically transported or whether it was perceived by a vision.

But not a “rapture” because we know he is murdered by Nero. Here is Dr Constable’s commentary:
