Default rapture
I had never heard of the rapture until a few years ago, and I never really got a satisfactory answer about what it is, but this seems like a fairly good place to discuss it. What is it? Where did anybody ever get the idea that such a thing would happen (Bible-based reasons, if there even are any)? Which faith is it most prevalent in (because I've jumped faiths a lot, and never heard it in any of the churches I've gone to), or is it just some concept that isn't really specific to any church?

It's pretty involved. If my understanding of it is correct, it is supposed, in some circles, to be the moment when Christ returns (sort of) and the faithful that are living are summoned up to heaven. There is, of course, more to it than that. Much more. I've been trying to find some notes on this subject that I had taken from a class, but I can't seem to find them. I'll post more when I can locate them.

A Roman Catholic perspective on the subject, in case you are interested: The Rapture

Thanks Scott. a totally new one to me. but can't say it will change my life. Not exactly a main teaching it would seem, but is it a required Catholic belief.

Far from it.... the Protestant idea of the rapture popular today is totally REJECTED by the Church.

as far as i am aware the rapture is not a bible teaching , those small mumber of 144,000 who will be ruling with christ in his heavenly kingdom, first have to die ,to recieve the promises .they are resurrected in the twinkling of an eye .i think most of them are already up thereruling with christ in his heavenly kingdom
1 Cor. 15:50, RS: "I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable............no flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom .i think those who believe the rapture say that they will be bodily caught up from the earththe word rapture is not in the bible

Jesus was not referring to a fleshly physical body being raptured up, but a new spiritual one. The process of the rapture is ingrained in biblical teaching through the apostle Paul (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) being a major reference point in scripture.

My congregation does not believe in "rapture" at all. That is, we don't believe in the antichrist, etc.

It's been a few monthes since my preacher gave a sermon on why rapture is not a Bible teaching, so I'm a little rusty on this subject. I'll try to get the sermon outline on Sunday so I can study for myself, and then I'll get back to you.
