Better yet there are some churches that teach that if you don't attend their church you won't make it. As for the rapture we are not appointed unto wrath, which is what the tribulation is if you read Revelation.
When the devil gets cast to earth by Michael the arch angel, he knows he has but a short time.
The devil comes in peacefully and prosperously (see the book of Daniel).
The devil destroys wonderfully by peace.
All who dwell on the earth except those written in The Book Of Life from the foundation of the world will wonder after him, which means worship him.
Those that are written in The Book Of Life from the foundation of the world are GOD'S 7000, which are the very elect.
The very elect will be a big part of what brings down the devils system and the devil will be after them.
The devil isn't after the rest of the world, he already has them.
It's the job of the elect to give a testimony that all who hear will hear in their own language as shown in Acts 2.
It's the elect that aren't appointed to wrath, and the wrath that is spoken of is GOD'S Wrath that is poured out on the children. It's the Seventh Vial. That wrath does not get poured out on the elect.
Mar 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Rev 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
There is a lot to all of this, but I thought I would mention it anyway.
