Only a handful of Christian denominations even believe in a rapture (the vast majority of Christians do not), so, being in one of them would help. Then, just do what they tell you.

Repent of your sins. Believe the gospel (the Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died for your sins and rose again the third day that you might have eternal life.) Ask God to forgive your sins. Receive Jesus into your life as Lord and Savior by asking Him to save you. Determine to live for Him.
After you are born again into the family of God by grace and through faith in Jesus Christ, read the Bible daily. Start in the New Testament, Gospel of John. Pray daily for God's will and direction in your life. Find a Bible-believing church to attend, like Baptist. Get baptized by immersion. (Baptism won't save you but it is the first step of obedience in the Christian life.)

It might be worth pointing out here that the Rapture isn't mentioned in the Bible ... It's 1800's fan fiction.

But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
Romans 10:8-11

Just do as commanded here.
Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Seems pretty simple to me.

You need to believe in Jesus as described in Romans 10:9-13 to be saved.
His church will go in the rapture, but only those looking for his return. The lukewarm Christians may very well miss the Rapture of the church. They may be saved but they make God sick (Read Revelation about Laodicia)
I'll recommend free podcast resources on this subject found at:
WWW_TTB_ORG especially download and listen to the book of Revelation, 1st and 2nd Thessalonians and the book of Daniel. The man that recorded these podcasts was an expert Bible teacher and had the following credentials

WHO JESUS IS
Jesus is God Himself, Jehovah, YHWH, The Creator, fully Deity & fully man. Who came to die for our sins in our place so we would not have to go to hell for our sins. He provides eternal life with Him in heaven for all that believe on Him. Acts 16, Romans 10:9-13 explains how to be saved.
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO NOT GO TO HELL
THE CONTRACT WITH SIN AND HOW GOD LEGALLY BROKE IT (IF YOU TAKE THE PARDON)
God is 3 personages, Jesus is God Himself; God the Son, & took on humanity, coming as a man to save us. Satan orchestrated a contract with sin with Adam in the Garden of Eden. Since that time, sin passes through man, therefore, Jesus was born of a virgin in order to save us of our sins & get us out of the contract. God worked out legal grounds, through Abraham, in order to save us & pour the sins of humanity on to Jesus on the Cross. Roughly 2000 years after Abraham was asked to kill / sacrifice his son, God sent His Son, on the same spot, to die for us. A man (Adam) put us in sin, a man (Jesus) gets us out of the contract While the pardon is there for the taking, a pardon may be legally refused. So, if you don't take Jesus as Lord and Savior, you will go to hell. God can't do anything about that. It's your decision.

"Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7 KJV
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9 KJV
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17
I know that's a lot to throw at you at once .... but necessary to validate what I tell you. Faith in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God, is the ONLY way you or anyone will ever see the kingdom of heaven. It is by the grace of God through that faith in Jesus Christ that is available to all sinners who confess & accept him as Lord. There are no rituals, no challenges or deeds to work. Jesus said "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." Matthew 22:37
Pray to the Lord & confess to him your sins & your desire to be in His presence through salvation by faith in Jesus Christ. You MUST truly believe or you will be talking to the wind. When you become saved, you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit who will dwell within you & guide you & teach you the ways of the Lord. You will be a new creature & your life & habits will begin to change. Stay true to the Lord & let your light shine. No one lights their lamp & then hides it, but the light is placed in the highest point to illuminate the way for all to see. I will pray for you too.
