You are mistaken CB...read 7:14...where it is clear there are Christians who do come out of the tribulation.

Further....The 144,000 are 12,000 of each of the 12 tribes of the Israelites... will be Jewish Christians since they are listed from the twelve tribes of Isarael....some have said the faithful Jewish remnant...who will be witnessing at that time for Christ....others say possible the faithful believers who make it thru the tribulation. Either way they are ‘servants of God’ 7:3... during the tribulation time. Additionally they are..”sealed by the Holy Spirit”...to protect them before the destructive judgements of the four angels begins.

I lean very much toward them being Jewish Christians...God has always left a remnant of Israel throughout history

However... you will see in Chapt.7:9 A great number before the throne..in white...and v. 14 defines them as “coming out of the great tribulation”....”and He said...”These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white.”

So you see that yes there are those who are Christians who come out of the tribulation.

I agree with you. There will be people who, after the Rapture, will become Christians. I didn’t say that there would be no Christians who come out of the Tribulation but it is my understanding that they have been killed before the battle of Armageddon. Only the 144,000 jews will be alive and protected during the battle of Armageddon. And yes, by definition, will then be Christians (actually Messianic Jews) but I was distinguishing the difference because of the Mormon belief that they are part of the 144,000.

Hope that clarifies what I meant.
