If the Lord comes, then I'll get saved

This is a totally precarious stance to take on 2 counts.

1. None of us know how long we will be here. The cemetaries are full of bodies of all ages. You could die in your sins and then all hope will be lost forever.
2. The Lord could return at anytime. His coming will be unannounced and will occur in the twinkling of an eye. In a moment those who are saved will be gone, to forever be with the Lord and you, if unsaved, will be left behind for judgement.

For those who think that if the Lord comes before they die, then they'll believe...

There's no event which will take place in God's great prophetic programme before the Coming of the Lord.
He will come to the air for all those who have trusted Him for salvation and know Him as their own and personal saviour. (See 'Caught up in the Rapture debate')

Some think that if they are still alive when the Lord has taken away His church, that then they will believe the message of the gospel and be saved. I must warn any who fall into that category that God's Word simply does not teach that.

There is no such a thing as a 'second chance'. Once the Lord has come for his own, this great day of the gospel of the Grace of God will be over for all who have rejected Him as Lord and Saviour.

"...because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians 2: 10-12)

For those, who previously reject the Saviour, there will be no second chance. God will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie.

Don't be deceived now dear sinner, repent towards God and put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and He will save you now. Now is the accepted time, don't delay.
