What could prevent a believer from being raptured?
A:According to John Nelson Darby, who invented the theological concept of 'Rapture' in the nineteenth-century, all you have to do to be taken up in the Rapture is to be a believer. He said that if you are not a believer you will be left behind to face what he termed the 'Tribulation'.What would most likely prevent a believer being taken bodily up to heaven in the Rapture is that the whole idea is a fiction. Some of the world's most important religious leaders have termed it "heresy," or "false theology."

people who are being prosecuted for their beliefs by other people who do not agree with them, a classic example of that happened during the Second world war, where Jews were being rounded up and exterminated by the Nazi Regime of Germany.
Is it possible to be a good person and not to be a religious believer?
Yes, definitely. Being a good person and being a religious person are independent of one another. They may effect each other, but they are not the same thing, and are not linked directly. There have been many examples throughout history of good non-believers and bad believers, and vice versa. A few Google searches can shed an astounding amount of light upon history and spirituality, and if you are contemplating by this question I would suggest a spell over at Wikipedia, or the other vast stores of data on the internet. Not all of it will agree, but that's just human nature.
Why would someone choose to be celibate?
CELIBACYWhy NOT celibacy? Practicing celibacy or being celibate is the abstention of sex (not engaging in sexual activity). There are MANY reasons; religious convictions (being aNun or a Priest), religious beliefs- waiting until marriage to have sex, or to avoidpregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, personal or family values that adhere tothe belief that you should be married before engaging in sex, personal choice; you want to wait for that special someone and get married before being intimate, and other reasons. There is NOTHING wrong with having a close relationship and remaing celibate.It can actually be quite healthy for a relationship. Relationships that are based on sex and not much else are doomed to fail. AnswerIf their religious befiefs call for it. Some choose it for inner peace believing that it will keep them pure. Some believe sex is the work of the devil and others just don't care for it.
