My pastor, Frank Curts recognized as a Bible teacher in the PAJC and then UPC taught that nobody except those baptized in Jesus' name and baptized in the Spirit would go in the rapture. He taught that Christian parents would go in the rapture and leave their children behind just like parents can be killed in a car crash or die of illness and leave their children behind.

Bro. S.G. Norris taught that if at least one of the parents was baptized in water and in the Spirit, their children would go with them in the rapture. This was based on his understanding of 1 Corinthians 7:14. I think Pastor Nathan Urshan taught that also.

I believe in the rapture as usually taught by Scofield, Darby, etc. I do not know of any verse of Scripture that speaks about children and others who are not mentally competent and what happens to them at the rapture (if there really is a rapture as taught by dispensationalists). I would hope that God would make the same provisions for children in the rapture that we think He does for those who do not know right from wrong and who have not consciously chosen wrong.

To compare the rapture to the flood is not a clean comparison because if the children would have been spared, Noah and his family would have had to go and round them all up, take them from their homes, and babysit them on the ark during that whole period. It is my opinion that adults and children in that area were both killed but the destiny of their souls/spirits could have been different.

Actually, we're getting into a pretty unknown area with this discussion. I don't see where God has clearly spoken on this (my opinion).
