I have heard that the Latin Vulgate has the word rapture in it

Harpazo is the Bible word in Greek. 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Revelation, 1 Corinthians 15, and other places talk about the rapture. From the earliest days of Paul the apostle, the rapture is a fact of Bible doctrine. Liars would say "it was invented in the 1800's", because they hate the reality that the Lord is coming.

Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell. The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed in Jesus for eternal life, or not.
.
The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death

Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. In part: "After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."
You are correct "Rapture" is not there. The church called "caught up ... in the clouds" a Spiritual Rapture because they had no other word for the prophetic event.

It sounded like a good way to scare people into falling in line.
