We as Christians have 2 natures one from Adam (1st birth) and one from Christ (2nd birth). We choose which one we will feed. These 2 are at war within us but thanks be to the Lord Jesus who will one day change this corruptible body to be like His incorruptible body and we will be fully saturated with His Life and have a glorious body like His. Amen. So you see there is no partial rapture. We all go up. We are all a part of the body. Even in our body some cells are brand new (new believers( and some are older) but guess what they are all in the body! So they all get to go up. They will receive different rewards (Matt 16:27) at this coming of Jesus in the clouds some will suffer loss and some works will be rewarded based on if they stayed in the spirit vs in the flesh which will be burned up works. God bless and stay in the spirit but don't worry you belong to Christ He purchased you and will take you up. You will not be caught unaware as a thief in the night because you are children of the light and children of the day. So God bless you and keep looking up for the Saviour because your redemption draweth nigh.
Yes, the rewards, or loss thereof, are very clear. There is an accountability for what we do with the Son ("Christ in you the hope of glory") and the grace we've been given in the new covenant. Of this I am sure. I am less sure about the rapture details and what you've stated. For instance, how about what Jesus tells the church in Philadelphia in Rev 3:10, "I will save you from the hour of trial that is to come upon the whole inhabited world"? Each of the seven churches received a special promise, specifically for them. Are we to assume these promises were for all the other six churches too?
