The Rapture - not everyone will go
Luke 17:34-3 : "I tell
you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and
the other left. There will be two women grinding together. One will be
taken and the other left.”
Luke 21:34-36: "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Commentary
The rapture, the Lord's rescue for His church from the Tribulation, is conditioned on our spiritual state at that time.
Children (the innocents) will go. Christians who are faithful and obedient will go.
Christians who are back-slidden, living in willful sin and rebellion/unforgiving, prideful, etc., will be left behind to repent during the Tribulation. People who rejected the free gift of salvation that Jesus Christ obtained for us, will be left behind, but can turn to the Lord during the Tribulation.
Many though will not be strong enough to resist the mark of the beast (antichrist) and will choose material comforts even if it means the worship of satan and the punishment for this (eternity in hell and eternal separation from God). Those who refuse to worship the devil may become martyrs, but they will also receive a crown of life in heaven. The recent virus was a good wake-up call to get things in order, spiritually, and otherwise.
If a pastor is not providing teaching about these things, personally or through church Bible studies, then find a church that does. Traditions do not save us; only Jesus does.
Matthew 24:42: "Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming."
