Rapture Refuted! Pre-tribulation Rapture and Premillennialism ... Introduction: 1. Rapture doctrine is widely believed today, but it did not exist before it "popped" into John Darby's head in 1830 AD.

Rapture doctrine is one of the most recent "new doctrines" in the history of the Church. The only doctrine more recent is the invention of the sinner's prayer for salvation by Billy Sunday in 1930, which was made popular by Billy Graham in 1935. 3.
