and he told you that you could save a non-believer's soul by coming back and enduring the tribulation, would you?

I mean you already know you're going to spend an eternity in Heaven, what's five years of hell?

Way to go Fireball, you could have saved a soul from an eternity in Hell but you chose not to.

There is no such thing as secret rapture, as if Jesus is ashame to pick up His saints. The Bible says that every eye will see Him, and the wicked will mourn and run to the caves to hide. And there is no use to return to earth after the ascension. The earth will be empty for 1000 years. After 1000 years, then the New Jerusalem will come down to the earth together with the saved ones. Then will the wicked be resurrected which mentioned in the Bible as the second resurrection. At that time the wicked together with Satan and the fallen angels will be burned to ashes.
5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where[b] the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. (Revelation 20:7-19)
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John,[a] saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me,[b] “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
6 And He said to me, “It is done![c] I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things,[d] and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving,[e] abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:1-8)

Well, I don't see how that is possible with the way Scripture lays out things, but I want to do whatever it is that God wants me to do. So if he asked me to endure the tribulation, I would.

Yes... But He has already provided for that... there will be 144,000 of The Nation of Israel who will go out during that time and save many.

That is a hard one... 'i' cannot 'save' anyone myself, persay... but if there were people who could still be saved by sharing the message of Christ and them accepting Him as their Savior... as much as I would rather stay with the Lord, I would return, knowing where my future lies

It's easier to just say yes than to actually do that, but I hope I would have the faith and courage to do that. I would tell God yes.

The rapture is a non-Biblical doctrine that has been around for only a few hundred years.

Yes. By testimony, not sacrifice. Only Jesus paid the ultimate through His sacrifice.
