"Re:  Only Christians who “qualify” go in the pre trib rapture???"


 
I never can decide on this issue, but lean heavily toward the need to
qualify side.  My best argument against the qualify position is from
Genesis 18

23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also cause the righteous to
perish with the wicked?
24 There are perhaps fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also
destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty righteous that
are therein?
25 Far be it from thee to do so, to slay the righteous with the wicked,
that the righteous should be as the wicked—far be it from thee! Will not
the Judge of all the earth do right?
26 And Jehovah said, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous within the city,
then I will forgive all the place for their sakes.
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak
unto the Lord; I, who am dust and ashes.
28 Perhaps there may want five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy
all the city on account of the five? And he said, If I shall find
forty-five there, I will not destroy [it].
29 And he continued yet to speak with him, and said, Perhaps there may be
forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.
30 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry that I speak! Perhaps there
may be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it if I find thirty
there.
31 And he said, Behold now, I have ventured to speak with the Lord.
Perhaps there may be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy
[it] for the twenty's sake.
32 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, that I speak yet but this
time! Perhaps there may be ten found there. And he said, I will not
destroy [it] for the ten's sake.
33 And Jehovah went away when he had ended speaking to Abraham; and
Abraham returned to his place.

We are supposed to be like the days on Noah and Lot.  So I think this  can
apply to our times.  It makes it sound like judgment can’t rain down on
the place until the righteous are removed. (especially if you read on past
this section)

The passage that most makes me think that Christians must qualify to be
raptured is the parable of the 10 virgins.  All 10 were indeed virgins,
and all were waiting for the bridegroom, and all fell asleep, but only
half went in to the wedding feast and the others were outta luck.

Maybe the virgins who let their lamps go out are not considered
“righteous”.  Lot did have family who could have gone but didn’t heed the
warning.  They just laughed at Lot!

Be on the safe side and stay in right relationship with God.  Keep your
lamp filled.
