Well both believers in the rapture and those that believe in a second coming believe in the gathering together of the elect. I really don't think this has to do with heretics and apostates. This simply has to do with understanding scriptures correctly regarding when exactly this happens. Wait, I don't mean exactly when because we can't know that. I mean before or after the tribulation period.

If you want to know more of it. I can speak in chat. Or, it will be a while before I can respond in a post here. Because I have to reference the scripture here and make it so its understandable .
Remember that little detail about the Bible not being originally in English? Well, it counts when understanding this . You have to do some Hebrew word studies here .

I sure have to wonder who came up with this concept that God inspired this or that translation. Christ said all scriptures were God breathed, but He was obviously talking about the Torah which was written in Hebrew. He wasn't even talking about the New Testament because it hadn't been written yet. We can only determine these things by way of the Holy Spirit. So when people try to tell me a certain version is the only one inspired, I have to ask why I've known so many people who've come to Christ by way of uninspired translations. I've also read from just about every translation on the market. Some I think are clearer, one or two I wonder about, but all in all, they all say the same thing.

One thing people do who have Not studied the bible enough to know this is, people , Christians, often make assumptions about what it could be , without knowing what is actually written there. So while a person might have part of it, that often times leads them down a road of assumptions and guessing. That never leads anywhere. And its never even close to whats written.
