I'm finding it hard to get them to at least consider that we might have some "earthly help" with Trump and the military and Q and they are very black pilled and ready for rapture. Has anybody had the same issue?

No I'm just a Spirit filled believer. A truth seeker.
The book of Acts is the history of the early church. It's not necessarily doctrine. In it we find growing pains and mistakes made. Peter was criticized by Paul because he was telling the heathen they needed to be circumcised.
Then trying to carry on the ritual of water baptism that was terminated with John the Baptist when the Christ showed up. Later he wrote this...
KJV standard
1 Peter 3:21
“The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:”
Baptism means to immerse and could mean anything. Immerse in water, immerse in mud, immerse in the Word of God and this case Peter is clearly referring to Baptism of the Spirit. (Not the putting away of the filth of the flesh i.e. water)
Also Paul in his epistles hardly brought up water baptism. Only a thing of the past. Yesterday's news.
To have a baptismal in a church is abject idolatry because they can't spin it any other way than it's required for salvation when salvation is a gift of God and not of works. We are chosen by the will of God.
Now to those who practice Judaism. Judaism is often a satanic cult of Baal doctrine, child sacrifice, Babylonian Talmud and antichrist.
Repentance is summed up nicely by Charles Spurgeon.
"Repentance grows as faith grows. Do not make any mistake about it; repentance is not a thing of days and weeks, a temporary penance to be got over as fast as possible! No; it is the grace of a lifetime, like faith itself. God's little children repent, and so do the young men and the fathers. Repentance is the inseparable companion of faith".
Spurgeon on God's elect and Calvinism. This is where dispensationals get tangled up. You can't go soul winning because it's God that draws and saves his elect. Typical water baptists calling names that if you believe the scripture you are a Calvinist or Pentacostal if you believe in Baptism of the Spirit but the Jews are God's chosen people. Pulease .
Spurgeon..
"And I have my own private opinion, that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and him crucified, unless you preach what now-a-days is called Calvinism. I have my own ideas, and those I always state boldly. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism. Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. I do not believe we can preach the gospel, if we do not preach justification by faith without works; nor unless we preach the sovereignty of God in his dispensation of grace; nor unless we exalt the electing, unchangeable, eternal, immutable, conquering love of Jehovah; nor, I think, can we preach the gospel, unless we base it upon the peculiar redemption which Christ made for his elect and chosen people; nor can I comprehend a gospel which lets saints fall away after they are called, and suffers the children of God to be burned in the fires of damnation, after having believed. Such a gospel I abhor. The gospel of the Bible is not such a gospel as that. We preach Christ and him crucified in a different fashion, and to all gainsayers we reply, ‘We have not so learned Christ.’ [Spurgeon’s Sermons, vol. I (Baker Books, reprinted 2007), 88-89.]"
