To kolaz:
Don't get too upset that no one responded to your 12/22/04 post. They do that to all new people who post here, and those to whom they have no Biblical answers to give.
For what it's worth, I'm in agreement with what you believe, which is in agreement with what the Word says.
The problem with most "rapture" teachings is that ambiguous verses not given in a specific time frame are used to prove their beliefs, while other verses given in a specific time frame that clearly say otherwise are ignored.
Blessings
