The Rapture was not found among Protestants until around the middle of the nineteenth century, when a couple of influential British Protestants invented the idea. It’s not biblical, it was not thought of in the early Church, and Martin Luther never said anything of the kind.

But look...The bible's clear...The church will be caught out and up to meed the Lord in the air...So of course there's a Rapture...
