RAPTURE OF THE CONGREGATION OF THE MESSIAH
? ?GOD?S SALVATION COMES IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.?
New Testament Saints - All believers in the Messiah, after the cross. The Church is composed of Believing Jews and Gentiles beginning at Acts Chapter 2 until the Rapture. The fact is that the Messiah can come at any time to gather the New Testament Saints. There are no preconditions for the "catching away of believers". If Messiah comes in the middle of the tribulation or the end then we would know exactly when he is coming and then we would get ready. The scriptures teach that the Messiah will come secretly before the wrath. The Second Coming is exactly seven years after the signing of the covenant with the Anti-Christ, but the rapture could happen at any moment.
* The Rapture can come at any moment, Matthew 24:42,44 , Luke 12:35
* Mansions are being prepared for believers John 14:1-3
* Believers will meet the Messiah in the air (dead ones will rise first) 1Thessalonians 4:13-18
* Believers receive glorified bodies 1 Corinthians 15:50-58
* Believers are delivered from the wrath to come 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10
*Christ will come secretly before the wrath Luke 21:36 , 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10
* Shofar (Trumpet) of Righteousness blown 1 Corinthians 15:52
* There are normal conditions on the earth Matthew 24:38-44
(Note that the Church is not mentioned at anytime during the Wrath in the book of Revelations, The church is heavily mentioned during the first three chapters, and not again until Revelation. 19:11-16. Tribulation Saints are all believer who accept the Messiah Jesus Christ after the church is raptured.) There are believers present during the entire tribulation. In fact the purpose of the tribulation is to bring people to faith by means of God's wrath, and cause them to cry out the Messiah. The Church is not mentioned in any tribulation passage. The elect, believers, tribulation saints who come to Messiah after the rapture exist, but the Church is not mentioned in any passage.

BEMA SEAT JUDGMENT FOR CHURCH SAINTS ONLY FOR REWARDS
Believers will be judged. Not for their sins, because our sins were judged on the cross. We are judged for our works done in the body. See The Seven Significant Judgments for details about the judgments of God. Our works will be judged at the Bema. The Bema is the term for the Judgment Seat. In the synagogue the Bema is the raised platform in the center of the synagogue where the Torah is read. Messiah will be at the Bema to judge our works.
* An accounting of our works will be given Romans 14:10-12
* Basis of this judgment 2 Corinthians 5:10
* Bad works are burned 1 Corinthians 3:10-15
* Five types of crowns will be given to those who are faithful:
* Incorruptible Crown 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
* Crown of Rejoicing 1 Thessalonians 2:19
* Crown of Righteousness 2 Timothy 4:7-8
* Crown of Life James 1:12 , Revelation 2:10
* Crown of Glory 1 Peter 5:2-4
