The thing is, if it's post-trib, the right and more relevant question to ask is, are you tribulation ready? Are you aware of those signs in Matt. 24?
I sure am Brother. I may not have some of the doo dads that the preppers have but I have something in the stead ofthose things I can not afford, lol. I have the Lord Jesus the Christ in me and His Holy Spirit. I can walk through the valley of death and fear no evil. I abide in Jesus and so am under His protection. His protection is outlined in Psalm 91.
A thousand may die at my side and 10 thousand at my right side, but it wont come near me. My understanding is that many sincere Christians are not Rapture ready even if they think they are. But their Pastor said all they have to do is believe so they perform Christianity to learn all these thing and they know a lot about Jesus...but they don't know Him personally! I never knew you...Maybe they don't pray much, maybe they dont read His word much? That will keep one from getting to know the Lord personally. That Pastor got left behind and the woman was mad because she thought was ready.
Besides, if the Lord needs boots on the ground during the great trib and leaves me here, what is that to me. He will be with me. Jesus told me that all of the super preppers that have went off grid and have every survival doo dad that there is are in fact no better prepared than a Christian that abides in the Lord and is under His protection. Many Christians think they have protection and they do not. Mostly because they did not spend time with Jesus in His presence, which is reading His Word, and praying always brings you into His presence.
Have I been transformed progressively. Yes I have. I still am progressing more. I notice it all the time, sometimes I auto react to things that are going on or being said and my reaction or words...are not what they used to be or how I typically would react based on my life and who I was. I react like someone else in the moment. That's from transformation of the mind and heart over time. I keep changing! And I am nobody special. I am just some poor guy who knows the Lord a little bit. Anyone can go into the Lord's presence, Jesus is here with me right now. I can't see Him. I feel Him but not in a normal way. It's oneof ,y spiritual senses that feel Him. But sometimes He is silent to me! And it made me feel bad, like He was distant from me. I came into His presence and said where are you? You left me, and He laughed and said I never left but when I am silent to you, it forces you into a different kind of faith, faith with no proof, can't see Him, can't hear Him, but I Know He Is Still There. When He has given me supernatural help it is easy to have faith! I bet when Moses parted the red sea all of them found Faith very easy! They could see God moving oh yes I have faith!! But can you have that sort of faith whenever you can not see or feel His presence? That Is a different kind of faith! That was a good lesson for me. So I want to be raptured and attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, but He wrote a book on me and I still don't know if He will take me or not. I believe I am ready, but I haven't started rising yet! So we'll see what He has in store for me. When He does come to get His Bride, it's not about who knows a lot about Him or who can quote the most scriptures, it's about who He knows. I think He sees us differently than we see and when scripture says to let your light shine it is my belief that the better you know Jesus personally the brighter your light will be and He can easily pick you out of a crowd. We shine light or darkness in the spiritual realm.
People who may be still living with some sin in their life will be full of darkness because they are living in rebellion to God. Time to cut that sin out of your life if so. That's what Repent means, to turn away from sin (even your favorite ones) and stop the sin, don't do it anymore.
