God raps up all righteous Catholics. You see outside of the catholic church, you won't be save. Why? The first christian church is catholic/universal, later the orthodox and protestants schismed.
The orthodox and protestants are still catholics with small letter 'c', even tho still protesting, I think God will consider them catholics anyway... so all rigtheous catholics will met Jesus in the rapture. Sounds good.

The rapture comes from Revelations, a later addition to the original bible of 325ad. It was included in 400ad by St. Justine and came with a huge disclaimer to NOT take it literally. The disclaimer has subsequently been removed in later additions, certainly it was not included in the King James version.
It was not originally included because it bears no resemblance to Johns style of writing what so ever. It was found in a cave in Patmos previously used by Shamans on account of the profusion of fly agaric mushrooms in the locality. It was not considered as anything to do with early Christianity and so was left out.
There are also many more gospels, about 30 or so. Only 4 actually made it into the bible. And the 4 that did make it are actually anonymous, they don't actually know the original authors but attributed them to Mathew Mark Luke and John. They are all written well after the fact so are believed to be copies of copies.
Each apostle went off in a different direction with their own version of the gospel. These were copied and copied, changed slightly copied again. The different accounts/gospels are by the various arising mystery cults all loosely calling themselves Christians. It was not until the Roman emperor Constantine commissioned the bible in 325ad and enforced it as the state religion that it was anything other than a fragmented obscure cult.

LMAO "CHRISTIANS!!" Anyone whom answers this question with a religion in mind is an idiot!!
Ok how about the kids whom have Atheist parents and haven't even been taught or heard of the STORIES of so called 'Jebus', or been indoctrinated into the whole religious mumbo-jumbo? Where do they go? Since you seem to know the answers!! Nah you are just more delusional nut-jobs. No one knows what happens when you die. I say nothing, nothing happens! No really I don't know, but I can tell you I know just as much as anyone else! Wanna argue it? Prove me wrong. Prove to me that the bible you freaks hold so dear is nothing more then a story, like Lord of the Rings! Meh it's time you opened our eyes, break out of the shell religion has put you in, time to make a new excuse for war! It's already the 21st century.

Catholics don't experience in it, neither is it a "Protestant theory," consistent with se. that's an invention of John Nelson Darby, an Anglican priest who defected, grew to alter into an severe congregationalist, and invented the physique of ideas of eschatology stated as Dispensationalism. To this present day, the rapture remains a in particular fundamentalist and Baptist teaching, with great penetration into different segments of Evangelicalism. All mainline Protestants reject it as a pretend doctrine.

the rapture teaching is false, it means to those that believe in it, that jesus will return 3 times, which is ridiculous.
the nicene creed stipulates that jesus at the end of time will come to judge the living and the dead, the 2nd. coming, .
and that could be at anytime , even tomorrow

Jesus will rapture up ALL those who are His... and God knows who are His- and the denomination doesn't matter ONE bit.
There are saved persons in all denominations, and unsaved ones,too!

Only Christians. There will be no catholics or protestants in heaven. Only those who have in their heart believed that God raised Jesus from the dead and made Him Lord of their lives.They are the only ones who will be spiritually alive to hear the trumpet.

Any who accept him as their Lord and Savior will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
