The possibility of repentance following the Rapture, and more on salvation through childbearing appear, today. The “Yahoo! Answers” writer using the ID “Larissa” (Level 1 with 90 points, a member since October 30, 2012) posted the following:
After the rapture will it be to late to repent?
THE BATTLE AXE: Saved in Childbearing (10/31/2012)—While every female may come into increased attention, honor and respect from her family, friends, and community by giving birth to a child, the love of GOD and salvation are not conferred through the animal and human acts of copulation, impregnation, labor, and delivery. A woman’s awareness of her place in divine purpose must be transformed. All her core beliefs and ideas for existence must expand and shift. Included are her feelings and thoughts on change, condemnation, death, duty, fear, forgiveness, health, growth, innocence, love, maturity, obedience, pain, parenting, truth, strength, and eternal life. Contrary to the initial plan, Adam (the name used by GOD for both the male and female) was made to be mortal after their self-will had been yielded to sin, and the full endowment of Spirit from GOD deposited within them had become inaccessible to them, lost and suppressed. As created beings, finite, mortal and temporal, that would have no continuity and permanence, mankind could no longer exist in correct relationship to eternal divinity. Birth followed by rebirth are sacred processes and operations to install the divine image, person and spirit content where reproduction determines only kind, form and species. Going further, everlasting life and the hallowed inheritance of the divine nature within mankind is fostered, generated and preserved through nonnegotiable provisions of eternal law serving as the expressed will of GOD. Thus, childbearing also is seen as essential to the integrity and soundness of sacred law that was in place before all life began.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (1st Peter 5: 6-9, KJV)

Here are some understandings important to mature Christian believers:
The Rapture (also called his appearing, the Second Advent, the Second Coming) is spoken of as Christ reaping the harvest of souls that has grown up from the seeds planted through his ministries in the earth, and from the heaven. Continuing to use the agricultural and farming metaphor, the harvest must be mature, ready and ripe before the work of ingathering begins. Because bad seed has been planted by the Devil and his children, many hateful and noxious plants have also grown up, and are ripe. Thus, the work of ingathering must also be a work of separation whereby the products of good seed are embraced, and the products of bad seed are cut down, removed, and destroyed by fire. While they were still only seed and seedlings, no clear difference could be seen consistently between the bad and good plants. In their final stages of growth, however, their fruit and byproducts are openly displayed before mankind, before GOD, and before all the host of heaven.
Many trust that there is a period of possibility following the departure of the sanctified and saved. They hold that those raised from the dead along with the living that remain in the earth have opportunity to change, repent, and return to GOD. However, all the elements vital to salvation will no longer exist in the earth. Included are acknowledgment of divine law, the anointed assemblies, the preaching of the Gospel, the holy Scriptures, and the imparted, indwelling spirit of Christ, the Holy Ghost. The unhindered influence of angry and self-destructive spirits will make it that sin is unrestrained. The lake of fire will become the mercy of GOD to release the unregenerate from their misery.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, the Rapture is also called the first resurrection. In that sacred event, believers are “caught up to meet him in the air,” because the earth will be too defiled and polluted from sin for him to set foot upon it. All those taken up to GOD in that sacred event are called “blessed.” In the second resurrection that follows, Christ does not approach the earth at all. The wicked are brought before him as the judge who sits upon the great white throne.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
