The believers who are alive now will be judged before the rapture.

No scripture to specifically back that, but principle: we would be foolish to believe we are going to be taken out of evil while generations before us were fed to lions, burned alive, massacred...just to have us go with a wink?

“This cockamamie plan sounds like a terrific way for the Democrats to lose the youth vote. Keep an eye on facebook to see how the kids react to putting careers on hold for three years so they can run around urban neighborhoods in uniforms to terrorize Republican voters.”

Perhaps we need a YOUTUBE video of this exact “plan” to get out there and help our youth get worked up over this attempt to determine their lives for them!

If you can come up with some scripture to back your opinion, I’d be happey to discuss it, though I’m no escatologist.

Scriptures do say that the anti-Christ cannot appear until the Holy Spirit (who indwells in Christians) has left the earth.
Scriptures, when discussing the tribulation, make no mention of The Church (Body of Christ), but they do mention the Church somewhere around 19 times when describing the “run-up”.
And as for judgement, believers are to be judged before the Throne of Christ. No mention of earthly judgement.

And your assertion, basically, is that it wouldn’t be fair for us to be whisked away when our predecessors were persecuted so badly.
