re: If the Rapture happened, and you were left behind..yes or no to the Mark?

It wouldn't make any difference now if you'd been left behind, so why not?

Again I'm far from any sort of expert, but I think the belief (as in those who believe in the rapture) is that even after the "rapture" it will be possible to be saved from damnation. But only if one does not accept the mark of the beast.

I think it goes like this.

Rapture: Children and true Christians are called up to heaven.

Post Rapture: Rise of the Beast and start of 7 year tribulation. Most will accept the mark of the beast and thus be eternally damned along with the beast. Other will reject the Beast or possibly be able to hide from the Beast. As long as these people accept Christ, they can be saved. However their salvation will only be in the afterlife and they will still have to live out the horrors of the Beast and the tribulation until they die.

As least I think that's how it's supposed to work according to believers in the rapture.
