So I have thought about this and was wondering what everyone else's views were on this. So I would like to see where all our hearts our in Christ, now mind you this is not to judge anyone but I would love to see what happens
And also I would very much like to NOT be debated on if this is biblical.

So in this hypothetic theme the rapture has happened( and I beg of you do not start debated on the dreaded rapture debate or I will lose it) you have been left behind and you are never allowed into heaven for some reason. people are stealing killing and everything is in chaos. now here is the question, can you honestly say you will still do what a Christian would do in this situation even though you cannot go to heaven? now there is a secret to this as well but I won't say what is because I need everyone's answer to come from the heart before I say anything. the secret may be good or bad and may not be what you assume

I have lived my whole life not believing in god. I believe I have a sound moral compass and I know how to treat people with respect.

Regardless of a Rapture, It wouldn't change the person I am nor would I behave any differently.

There Darbyist/Dispensationalist notion of the 'Rapture' is a false doctrine. Therefore, this thread is impossible to respond to even in hypothetical terms.

Dude..... I asked one thing of you, not to turn this into a debate. I don't care about talking if the rapture is real or not.

I'm not turning it into a debate. I'm simply explaining why I can't discuss this hypothesis.

No you see the whole point was to not even say you believe or not believe in the rapture and give your honest reply about what you would do. It's easy to say we would still do our Christian duty but if we could never enter heaven again? Honestly I don't if I could. But then again knowing me I would be the timid scared kid in the corner

thinking about me being left behind...... I would be, dude to be honest I have no idea :|. But I will keep my Christian status. I will be broken and empty on the inside and feeling separated for the one who has loved me and cared for me more than anyone in the entire universe! But... there is also a possibility that I would get angry and ask whyyy, get frustrated, hide and turn crazy, because I know what I have lost.

Let's just say this is a test of faith kind of game, as for my reason I am hoping to find a certain kind of people from this game

Anyway... I think I'd keep trying as I do now...

I think there are good people that want to live well saved or not, and I'd roll with that.

Keeps me motivated and hopeful to have purpose (especially as a Christian Gods grace gives my hope and strength) and to continue to try to do good to others would be the same for me I believe.

To be honest, this is a difficult question for me, because I honestly was a very self centered person before the Lord saved me, so, I like to think I would be trying to do good after the rapture, but I honestly dont know because I AM saved and my heart has changed (Given being here after the rapture implies that I am not saved). If that makes sense? lol

God hides Himself to see if you are the kind of person who will "one up" other people's screwed up versions of Him.
So yeah, if I was "left behind" I wouldn't buy it as being the last straw and still love other people.
I hope. :p

If I wasn't allowed in it is because I was not His child and would not have his nature. Who knows what evil would lurk in my heart...I might, if unsaved,even send a virus into this thread :mad:

I wonder. I watch all these random end of world shows with chaos and murder and theft and horrid crimes and my soul is troubled. In that situation, though, how would one respond? I would love to believe that I would not resort to a kill or be killed mentality, but honestly, knowing that there is no good in me apart from God, I have to say that I would be one of the worst there, killing and looting and, well, surviving, even though life in that scenario would not be worth living at all. I would still be clinging to it with a fierce determination to get all that I could and forget everyone else.

I know the darkness and evil within me. Without God, I am nothing. Without Jesus, there is no good in me, foul, rebellious sinner that I am. This is one of the many, many, many reasons I rejoice that I am His, that I am saved, redeemed, set free and that, when the Rapture happens, so long as I hold to Him, I will be going when that trumpet sounds. :) Praise be to God forever and ever, in all His glory and goodness and wonder. :)

Okay I saw what I needed to see, everyone you all impressed me very much:] Here is the secret I was holding back on, you see I never said who said you could not go to heaven. basically God never said you couldn't but you were told by someone who you have always believed to be a great person of Christ.( I hope this doesn't offend anyone) So basically you were left to act on what is in your heart, even knowing you could not go to heaven( or at least you thought you knew) You see I was wanting to see how honest everyone would be. You see the thing about replying in the forums is that everyone can see your answer, so you risk people seeing you differently than you want them to. you see I would love to believe I myself would continue to be love and compassion even if I was excluded from heaven, but in all honesty can I look into my heart and honestly know this is who I would be in these kinds of times? and if in fact I cannot can I post my honest answer here in cc? Am I willing to look like someone who might abandon Christ if in fact I could no longer see him ever?
So the title is let us test you hearts, now I got to not just see what lies in everyone's hearts and I got to see if people were willing to be truly honest even if it made them seem less Christ like. Honestly everyone did fantastic

Look around, you already are in these kinds of times.
Everyone obsessed with "the rapture" is afraid of being left behind.

They hope to be confirmed by flying up in the sky. Not saying it won't happen, but...
A greater honor would be - to be left behind and preach Jesus so hard that they kill you.
If the seal on the forehead is physically remembered in paradise by a visible gunshot scar, that would be pretty hardcore wouldn't it?

Ah I see, well yes I was serious about this. wanted to see if people had the guts to be honest with their own hearts, and are we willing to reveal our hearts? You see I love that people said they would still be Christians, as this was partly a test of faith. But the ones who said different also succeeded in the test because they proved that even if they did not know if they could in those times they were honest about it and showed true initiative in their faith. Sometimes, in order to truly grow in faith we have to face our deepest darkest areas, and this is why I knew if people were honest in whichever choice they made if in fact they were honest they would past the test. However the trick is not if I thought they were honest but if they knew they were. the test was sort of a self examination thing.

Anyway the bible does not teach that people cannot be saved after the rapture. In fact many will be saved, yet most will be killed, but still saved. Your Hypothesis is in possible, God never places man in a position that does not allow salvation, only after death of this life is there no chance. As long as there is breath in the body there is still hope.
