You're both wrong. The "pretibulation rapture" cult started in the UK in the 19th century and then spread to America. It's unbiblical and unorthodox. It certainly hasn't been the faith of Christians for many centuries..
I'm no expert on this stuff, but haven't people been saying this for, oh, a thousand years or two?

Actually, every generation claims their's is the generation that will see the rapture.
Michele Bachmann says the rapture is coming, thanks to President Barack Obama’s policies on Iran’s nuclear program and marriage equality.
In a radio interview last week, Bachmann, the former Minnesota Republican congresswoman, told "End Times" host Jan Markell, “We need to realize how close this clock is getting to the midnight hour.”
“We in our lifetimes potentially could see Jesus Christ returning to earth and the rapture of the church,” Bachmann said. “We see the destruction, but this was a destruction that was foretold.”
Bachmann cited the Obama administration’s nuclear negotiations with Iran as a cause. The U.S. and five partner nations are discussing a deal with Iran that would prevent the country from developing or obtaining nuclear weapons.
“We are literally watching, month by month, the speed move up to a level we’ve never seen before with these events," Bachmann said. "Barack Obama is intent. It is his number one goal to ensure that Iran has a nuclear weapon.”
Later in the interview, Bachmann again tied her rapture prediction to Obama’s foreign policy.
“If you look at the president’s rhetoric, and if you look at his actions, everything he has done has been to cut the legs out of Israel and lift up the agenda of radical Islam,” she said.
Obama has said repeatedly that the goal of the nuclear talks with Iran is to prevent the country from developing a nuclear weapon.
Bachmann also blamed abortion and gay marriage, arguing that God is punishing the United States for “embracing a pagan view.”
“Any nation that accepts God and his principles is blessed, and those who push away are cursed. That’s what we’re seeing happen to the United States,” she said. “We will suffer the consequences as a result.”
Some Christians believe those who are saved will be transported to heaven just before armageddon, which they call the rapture.
Michele Bachmann: The Rapture Is Coming And It's Obama's Fault
Is Bachmann clinically insane? She must be close.
The people who elected her should be required to undergo psychiatric treatments and maybe even electro shock therapies
