Not all Christians believe in the rapture. Dr William Lane Craig is one of them. He thought that it was some misinterpretation of 1 Thessalonians 4:17 by a guy named Edward Irving. He gave his views in this YouTube video.
David Pawson believes that the rapture is together with the second coming. Here is his video, "When Jesus Returns - Revelation TV 2014 - YouTube".
According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together (ἁρπαγησόμεθα) with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 NIV)
