To believe in the rapture to go up

Just as one puts faith in Jesus & confesses that He is Lord of one's life to be saved from hell, one needs to put faith in the rapture to go up pre-trib. Just as we have faith in Christ as our Saviour & believes He died & rose again 3 days later to justify us, we must have faith in the soon coming rapture for us to go up. Although many people say God's grace will ensure Christians be raptured no matter their rapture beliefs, I still feel ppl have to put trust in God for the pre-tribulation rapture & believe that rapture will take place soon for them to leave before the Great Tribulation. Jesus told us to watch. Jesus told us to be careful to watch. What will happen to those who just wouldn't watch even if they are Christians? That Day will catch them unawares!

Just as we are justified by faith in our salvation, we are also justified by faith in our belief of the end time & pre trib rapture. The big hooha about being holy is a side issue. NOBODY CAN BE TRULY HOLY ENUF TO MAKE IT. So holiness is a side issue. What is at stake here is belief in the rapture & actively watching for Christ's return. We get salvation & healing by faith not works so we get raptured by faith & not works. Can we imagine if one doesnt have the faith that the world is going to end soon or be raptured up pre-trib, one won't be able to be raptured. So we have to believe to receive just like salvation& healing etc.

Maybe I am a bit too harsh but God's grace is conditional on faith - that we believe first. Faith is not works so holiness etc is not the issue here. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. So how can one receive that thing (rapture) if he/she doesn't believe in the first place or have faith for it?

Just an opinion. God bless!
