I don't agree that there's no "biblical support" for a multiple rapture scenario. It seems to me that the reason we have both pre-trib and post-trib rapture theories is because people see verses that they believe support each (pre & post) occurrence, and then "make camp" there on one or the other.
The LC likes to make the case that the ones who are early first-fruits and are kept "from the hour of trial about to come upon the whole earth" (Rev 3:10), are the ones that please God and therefore won't receive loss/discipline at the Bema - and also will be the ones ruling in the kingdom.
