I recently had a conversation with my 3 girls, 12, 12, and 14 about the rapture. They indicated they are saved but of course, I cant be absolutely certain. Anyways, I told them that if by chance they are here when all the christians disappear, to understand what has happened, etc. Then it dawned on me: They will see people still here who have or are professing Christians and that it will confuse them and make them doubt the rapture. I was stumped at this point. Then one of them said: mom, if you disappear and we are still here, THEN we'll know the rapture has happened! Wild thought huh?
I wanted them to know, on the outside chance they are still here, what has happened and what to do. But it is clear, and some of you may want to let others know, that it will be confusing when many pews are still filled with "christians" after the rapture happens. It may be these "christians" that will help society think we have been abducted by aliens or something since they are still here.... what a thought eh?

you could always get them a copy of the Left Behind Kids books or CDs. That helped us to have some conversations with our younger ones (10 and 12 at the time).
On the other hand, you don't want them to get too excited about being left behind. (And the books are just fiction. We don't want anyone thinking that it's all going to be that way.
