Thats a great question. The answer is 'YES' but with the church gone, the pull of sin and rebellion is bound to be very much harder than right now. Now, today is the day for salvation. If you wait until then, times will be so much harder then. PEACE!!!

God is not willing that any should perish. Jesus is the savior now and whoever repents and receives him as Lord and savior will not perish but will have everlasting life. When Jesus returns to the earth he will come as a judge and he will judge the ungodly. The rapture is a false doctrine that arose late in our history. It's not true because there will not be a next day when Jesus returns.

There are some who have yet to receive him or else we wouldn't still be here. There are some who know that they want to believe but who haven't gone to him in private and told him that they know that they are a sinner and asked him to come into their heart and forgive them of sin and change them from the inside out to be whole and new again. They know who they are. They know the feeling they have inside that things need to be made right with God again. They know there are pastors nearby who can encourage them. When the last one enters then Jesus will return and there won't be any more time.

Yes, after the rapture during the tribulation there will be many who will be saved. But, it will not be a nice time. People will absolutely hate Christians because of the anti-Christ. But, those people that are saved have nothing to fear. Praise God!! for giving them another chance to accept Christ. God loves us so much that He wishes NO ONE to perish.

The thig is, though, a lot of these non-believers plan to cry out the name of Jesus, when He comes back, to go to heaven and not Hell. Unfortunately, with such little faith, they are going straight to hell, with all the other non-believers. The Rapture is the end, after that, there is no way to get saved.

If you live during the bad times and believe then you get special white robes but I do not think saved as we know it would apply. I am also certain it will be very difficult not to stay alive.

No, that is when 1/3 of mankind is destroyed ,wouldn't that be nice for the faithless if they could change after the fact.where are you people getting this from.In the blink of a eye the saved are
taken.then total annihilation,so horrific man will seek death and not be able to find it.Jesus will bring down the new Jerusalem with His people.The former things passed,including all beings who were here.

after the rapture, when the antichrist will be revealed as he, in public, "confirms the covenant with many" (Dan 9:27) there will be a strong delusion sent.
2 Thess 2:
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Rev 3 describes this similarly, describing it as the "hour of temptation" or "trial" for the world.
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Therefore, to be saved AFTER the rapture, will require greater discernment of the truth, a greater trial than is required today. Today, we do not have to cut through that particular strong delusion, or trial, since it has not yet been "sent".
"Persecuted Christians" are NOT doomed. They will be rewarded, as in, "obtain a better resurrection"!
Hebrews 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Clearly, there will be some who come to be Christians after the rapture of the Church, symbolized by the "man child" in Rev 12. Rev 12 ends with the phrase that the "remnant of her seed" who are persecuted in the tribulation.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
So, to answer, yes, you will have a "chance" to "make it right" if you are not raptured, but I think it will be HARDER to "make it right" then, than it is today.

yes but you will have a hard time if you are
revelation 7:13. Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?"
14. I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Since there is no such thing as a "rapture" going to happen....and since nobody in the Church Militant ever believed in such nonsense in the first 1,850 years of Christianity...I wouldn't be holding my breath if I were you.

A raptor is more likely to exist than your precious rapture!
