Tim Lahaye and Bryan Jenkins, authors of the Left Behind series do not believe Christ will return in their life time. The "imminent return" of Christ is a foundational teaching those that believe in a Pre-tribulational rapture. See interview with Glenn Beck
After the current batch of the old rapture-hustlers like Harold Camping, Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, John Hagee, etc. have all died, will people finally grow up mentally and realize that Jesus won't come back with a sack full of presents for them?

@tjrank1 Amen to that ! plus the secret rapture doctrine wrongly teaches that the church can not go through the great tribulation and they teach this with out bible verse to back it up they just give mens ideas not what scripture teaches. Even Jesus,Paul and Daniel warned us about persecution on the elect or saints.

There will be no rapture. The only way a human can be lifted into the sky is on a rocket, airplane, helicopter, or jet pack. These apocalyptic preachers are misguided, paranoid, delusional , and misinformed.

The Bible says that the rapture will not come until two things happen first....#1 A great falling away..#2 the man of sin is revealed ....2Th 2:3...These two events have not happened yet. Jesus himself said that he would return immediately after the tribulation of those days, and every eye would see him. This flys in the face of what Tim LeHaye preaches. The bible does not teach the doctrine of immenience, people do and they are in error sad to say. But they will still go to heaven.

This is amazing. If this video is real, I am astounded that they don't really believe it, because I certainly do. This would make them charlatans who just make money with their materials. I know Jerry B. jenkins personally--he is a Trustee with Moody Bible Institute and is an extremely talented writer. I couldn't believe that he does not believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Thanks to Glenn Beck for exposing them. It is shocking, to say the least.

The trouble is, if one doesn't believe, the question you ask is nothing more than an irrelevance for them.
And if Jesus did come back, I suspect near everyone would be left behind. Nothing would change; we wouldn't even notice. Mr LaHaye and co would definitely not be allowed on the Rapture Express, in my opinion.

My respect for Tim LaHaye pretty much evaporated upon hearing him speak. He made the remark that China is controlled by Satan (2010/09/17). Pretty much every nation that was not Israel is controlled by the Prince of Darkness.

@BoyintheMachine I would agree in that there are many people who attend churches and identify with the Christian faith, but have not come to a saving faith in Christ. They aren't Christians. Being in a garage doesn't make you a car just as sitting in a church doesn't make you a Christian. All born again Christians will be in heaven. Those who don't make it were never true believers.
