RESURRECTION There will be a resurrection (v. 16). At this point in history only the dead in Christ will be raised; that is, only Christians. Although there have been many believers since Adam, no believer was placed “in Christ” until the day of Pentecost when the baptism of the Holy Spirit first occurred (Acts 2). So those raised at the rapture include all believers from the day of Pentecost until the rapture. Priority will be given to the dead, who will be raised just before the living are changed.
