Hi, Bebop..
I grew up a Protestant Christian and still retain much of that belief. Rapture was never part of my relligious learning, and I have only learned of in as an outside observer of this philosophy. This does not mean I am an "unbeliever," thoiugh I do see the Rapture as an offshoot of conventional Christian beliefs.
My dad believed in the Rapture, though I look at it with skepticism. Really...who can know?
