  Yes, but the actual details vary from denomination to denomination.
AFAIK the most common interpretation is that it's not the physical body
you had that is raptured, but a new "spiritual" body of sorts. After all,
it makes little sense to resurrect the old body because in most cases it
will have completely decomposed until there's nothing left of the original.
(After a sufficiently long time all of your the molecules in your body will
have been consumed by bacteria and fungi, scattered in the soil, which is
then scattered even more by rainwater and such, consumed by plants, which
is then consumed by animals, and so on.)
