We should want to fulfill our reason for being and serve God with all our hearts, not be Raptured. This Rapture concept has to say die, frankly, because it's kind of unconstructive.

Hank Hannegraff and I both agree with you. I believe that the great tribulation occurred in 70 A.D. with the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. I don't believe there will be a rapture, later followed by the return of Christ at the beginning of the Millenium. The theory of a rapture was dreamed up less than 200 years ago.

The Rapture was not dreamed up or a Theory but is a truth and a revelation of the Spirit - written in the Bible by credible men of God. It was perhaps given emphasis "less than 200 years ago" when the Spirit saw that it was the time to reveal this mystery to the Church... even as He revealed "sola Fide" (Only by Faith) to Martin Luther before the Reformation.
I am not a lazy, idle and useless bum waiting for a Savior from the outer space... but one who works his wits out to save others and to disciple those who got into the Ark of Salvation.

I am fulfilling my reason for being and I am serving God not only with all my heart, but also with all my mind and strength... working night and day just to see to it that the unreached people groups of the world may have a chance to hear the Gospel before its too late... and I believe in the Rapture - it made me sober and always anticipating for God's Blessed Hope while doing all my chores for the glory of God.
No one will be removed because the concept of Rapture is cow squeeze.
The people during Noah's time also sneered and laughed at the thought of a coming deluge of a non-stop rain for 40 days and nights... until it came... but was too late for those who could have been saved.
