1Cor 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Cor 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Cor 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.
1Cor 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

While this clearly says we will be changed, it does not say that we will keep our physical body.

Our physical body is the home for our spirit and our soul, and if we are to be changed, the technical term for that fleshly home, and what will happen to it, is either death or total transformation

Our physical body may disappear entirely, it also my change state just like Jesus did at His resurrection, and since He is the Firstborn of the resurrection, I would lean heavily to the changed nature and state of our physical body, being changed to an immortal one, since it is the power of God that changes it, I am not worried about it.

As for death, that implies, death, destruction, decay, injury, harm...

Nowhere does it say the rapture would involve that at all

Death does separate the spirit and soul from our fleshly body, but the rapture, when it describes the relationship of our bodies to our coming heavenly state, says we will be changed
