Your view then presents a case where one need not be holy and without blemish AND YET they can still be saved in the next rapture!
Actually Jesus taught if you miss his coming he shuts the door on you.
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy,
the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you,
I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matt 25:1-13
Jesus shuts the door on those who are not ready! He says to them
I KNOW YOU NOT.
It is my understanding having once been a partial rapture believer they can then repent and still be saved.
The whole point of the parable is to
BE READY when Christ comes. Afterward the
DOOR WILL BE SHUT.
The foolish virgins were fools according to Christ. They took no heed to make preparation so they are barred from the Kingdom.
