Does one's belief in the timing of rapture (pre tribulation, during tribulation, etc) affect one's salvation?

I'd have to say NO because Paul's comments in 1Thess 4:13-18 aren't a
gospel message per se, rather, it's his attempt to help Christian folks
whose loved ones have passed on to cope with their loss.

Does one's belief in the timing of rapture (pre tribulation, during tribulation, etc) affect one's salvation?

No. We are saved by believing in sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and His resurrection.

"......that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

"And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ Acts 2:21, Romans 10:13

God does not have an entrance exam that checks our doctrinal purity. He has a spiritual "stethoscope". God's evaluation is simple: are you alive or dead? If you are alive, you welcomed. If not, you are rejected.

The bible speaks of an Apostasy coming, where Christians forsake Christ for a false christ/false god. Pretribs literally believe the Apostasy is the rapture (a physical departure rather than a religious departure) so they want to take part in that "departure". So yes, one's stance on the rapture timing could affect salvation.

It's like someone believing the lake of fire is actually just a nice vacation in a warm tropical island.

No..

It might make one more or less vulnerable to the end times great deception.. But as far as salvation goes rapture and rapture timing is not a doctrine of critical salvational importance..

Does one's belief in the timing of rapture (pre tribulation, during tribulation, etc) affect one's salvation?

No.

Nor does it matter if you believe the idea of any rapture is a Biblically sound doctrine or not.

Does one's belief in the timing of rapture (pre tribulation, during tribulation, etc) affect one's salvation?

No. Like so many other systematic theologies that divide people, it's irrelevant. Jesus said to watch and be ready whenever He appears.

 

[DavidLamb]

Does one's belief in the timing of rapture (pre tribulation, during tribulation, etc) affect one's salvation?

Certainly not according to the bible. For example, Jesus said:

“"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (Joh 3:16 NKJV)

He didn't say: “"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him and believes the correct things about the timing of the rapture should not perish but have everlasting life.” (Joh 3:16 NKJV)

Similarly, the apostles said to the jailer: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved," not "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and the correct timing of the rapture and you will be saved,"
