Lastly, I've never been too clear on the "rapture" element that other christian faiths propagate because I've never seen it described in actual scripture that way. What I have seen is that His second coming will be much like the time he visited immediately after his resurrection. There will be massive natural disasters, etc. many of the dead will raise from their graves and be resurrected, and it will come at a time when a very specific set of prophecies have all been fulfilled. The righteous will simply be preserved as far as I understand, not taken away. Maybe the rapture part comes in where the dead are raised. Those who are resurrected will be taken away as I understand, though I'd need to study more to be certain I'm correct.
