I really appreciate the good intent of what you have written here. It is certainly admirable for people to do some of those things out of love for others (those simply for the sake of salvation are definitely 'valid').
However, it is simply not according to biblical truth.
The very next time Jesus appears anywhere-near-the-earth-whatsoever - He will be coming in the manner described in this verse:
2 Thessalonians 1:
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
This is the biblical truth.
There will not be a "split" Second Coming of Christ.
This idea was "invented" to deceive people into believing an "alternate" (but untrue) eschatology - that is not biblical.
It may sound nice - but, it is not biblical.
The Second Coming of Christ will be a one-time-occurance 'event' in which every Second Coming prophecy will be fulfilled in its proper order.
And, it will be post-Tribulation, post-Two-Witnesses.
This is the biblical truth.
The things you are suggesting might could happen "after the Rapture" - people cannot do own their own without the convicting action of the Holy Spirit - which will be "withdrawn" at the time of the rapture when Jesus appears.
At that point in time, all opportunity will be gone.
The scenario you present is "wishful thinking" at best.
Anyone who has refused Christ up until that point is very highly likely to fall into the trap that Satan will have set so that they will believe whatever official story is offered.
Remember these verses:
2 Thessalonians 2:
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.
At the time of the rapture, all opportunity will be gone.

I tend to believe pre trib rapture but I also am prepared if it should not be true and we have to go through the tribulation and get beheaded. Like I have said before if that is the case I guess it will be quick and we will then go onto be with the Lord. I strangely don't seem to be worried atm.
