sabath, You are writing the word "Borne," and its meaning is very much like being raptured.
"borne" is an adjective.
"borne" means:
1) Carried or transported by. (Often used in combination.)
2) Transmitted by.
3) carried, supported.
Do you by any chance mean "born?" as in born again?
“Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council [the Sanhedrin]. He came to Jesus at night…” (John 3:1-2).
Nicodemus seemed to recognize and acknowledge the authority of Jesus, saying, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him” (John 3:2).
Jesus replied in verse 3 that anyone who wants to truly honor God must take a bold step – to be reborn. Nicodemus, puzzled by this instruction, wanted to know more.
“Jesus replied, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again’” (John 3:3).
"You must be born again." Jesus’ message to the Pharisee Nicodemus applies to every other believer as well: at the moment we believe upon Jesus for eternal life, we are cleansed of all sin by the Holy Spirit, who then indwells us for the rest of our life, for as Jesus promised, "He will never leave you."
The Holy Spirit will never leave you. If you are a new creation in Christ, the Holy Spirit has come to live with you permanently. You have become the temple of the Holy Spirit, and He will be with you forever. The Holy Spirit is a gift from God Who will never, ever leave you.
[Jesus said] "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever. (John 14:16)Because we truly desire to follow God, and have faith in Jesus, He gives us the precious gift of the renewal of our own spirit.
Not only this, but as pastor - author John Walvoord put it: “As is true of man who is born naturally and receives a human nature from his parents, so a man who is "born again" is literally born anew spiritually, receiving a new nature, which gives him a new ability to serve God and be devoted to Him.”
If we have died in Christ before the rapture, when we are called forth from the grave, we receive a glorified resurrection body just as Jesus did. Our resurrection bodies are our earthly bodies, only glorified. The bodies we receive in the resurrection will have the same qualities as the glorified resurrection body of Christ. "We know that when He appears we shall be like Him" (1 John 3:2).
It will be a body that is not subject to disease and death any longer. It will be in all points perfect, as the Lord Jesus Christ's body is also perfect. Jesus Has a Glorified Body after his resurrection, Jesus was not walking around as a disembodied spirit. He could be seen, and He ate meals with His disciples.
The traditional translation of Psalm 46:10 is, “Be still and know that I am God!”
The Hebrew verb that is translated “be still” means to stop. It is a command also translated as
“cease striving,” “surrender,” “stop,” “desist,” and “make peace.
“[Cease striving] Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10).

remember, you cannot stop striving, "He who endures to the end shall be saved". The end is not a rapture, it's when Christ comes in the clouds,the dead shall rise first.ect....there is no secret rapture. when he comes,every eye will see him. Our rapture will be when we are raised from the Dead,all must die and be raised as spirits to be borne again.
Jesus said, you must be borne again.when that happens, you will be spirit, no longer human! If people on earth can see you,you have not been borne again.
Jesus explained this to Nicodemus, the wind bloweth where it listeth,and thou hearest the sound thereof,but canst not tell whence it cometh,and whither it goeth,so is everyone that is borne of the spirit. John 3:8
