Some believe that the rapture is the 7th day when god rested. And that we are presently in creation. (check out the pictures the from hubble space station?) They support that creation is still going on.
IF the bible is not literal then the 7th day could be eternity, and god could have said we will all of us rest then. Many may well be in it now.
rapture
Church tradition tells us that when John, son of Zebadee and brother of James was an old man, his disciples would carry him to church in their arms.
He would simply say, “Little children, love one another”
After a time his disciples wearied at always hearing these same words and asked “Master why do you always say this?
He replied, “it is the Lords command, and if done, it is enough”

We get so hung up on literal dates and we shouldn't Jesus says we just don't know when the end will come but we should watch and wait. I think Paul is assuring the Corinthians in the 15th chapter that the rapture hadn't happened yet and that was their concern that they had missed the rapture.

There is no "rapture", at least as currently defined. Read my previous post.
And Paul is not reassuring anyone about a rapture in 1 Cor. 15. He is reaffirming the doctrine on the resurrection. Resurrection Wayne, not rapture.
