What you fail to realize or account for is the simple fact that there are no special or in your words, “elite”, “VIP” or “ultimate” Christians on this planet. God looks upon everyone walking the face of the earth with no partiality. The apostles dying in gruesome ways wasn’t of the wrath of God but rather at the hands of men. As I’ve mentioned earlier in this thread, there will be many today who will die a gruesome and terrible death somewhere on earth the difference being these deaths aren’t the result of the wrath of God but rather by deceived and lost men.

What makes a Christian an actual Christian and worthy to be taken is by praying daily, having a true relationship with Jesus and working on that relationship with Him as much as possible, and repenting daily of what sins you’re aware of in your life. It has not happened yet and the invitation is open for all.
