In other words before he calls out the 144,000 during the tripulation period, through the two wittnesses of revelation 11

The only Church which God is going to rapture out from this earth before the Tribulation Period is his own true Church; which includes only those who have been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, and cleanse from their sins by such. It is not going to be those who have worked real hard to try and please God; even though I am sure that it will include some of these. But the only ones who can look forward to the rapture before the Great Tribulation are those who have truly believed upon Jesus Christ, and received Him into their hearts by faith. These are the ones who truly make up the Church of God.

The tribulation is FOR the church. To purify it before it meets GOD. There will be a rapture before GOD turns towards wrath and kicks a$$. For the sake of all, stop the false teaching of a rapture before tribulation.

What makes you think the tribulation hasn't already started? Did you ever hear that story about the frog that was put in cold water and the temperature was gradually turned up until the frog died from the heat but he never jumped out of the water because the increase in temperature was so gradual he never realized what was going on? That's kind of what is happening now. I am afraid that the Rapture is kind of a false thing. It's not going to happen, it is not Biblical and it is only a recent thing that has popped up.

purely white wash from bloodshed is corpse white. JC gave no place to great tribulation in Mt 24:21. Too overdue for all of the rapture theories previous 2003. Revelation is the suited examination many ppl fail. What Johnny regulation observed: his own latter end worse. eternal Grace would not end. particularly the regulation ends. The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

there is one true church and that is the one that follows the lords comandments and have the faith of jesus. it's not just people who believe in god because there are many people who believe in god and yet they do the wrong things. there are many people who do not belong to any chuch but they do according to what was tought to them. the lord looks for faith.
here are some questions and answers that may help answer this question clearly.
do many or little people form the church of god?
mathew 7:14
because straight is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it
what are the principle characteristics of the true church?
revelations 12:17, isaiah 8:20
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.
to the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
what commandment of god does the world ignore but his church follows?
exodus 20:8-11
remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. six days shall thy labour and do all thy work but the seventh day is the sabbath of the lord thy god.......

He will call bunches of them. Each one an individual person who has the truth in their heart and have kept His temple holy and clean. I doubt there are any churches on the planet where everyone in it will make it to the rapture. Many will probably surprised. And many left behind would surprise most of the true believers. That is the whole thing...only God knows each persons heart and can Judge whether or not they are worthy, not you or I.

His Church.In other words the ones who believe in him and love him and live by his commandments.That means no denomination has the only ticket. There will be folks from every church,and there will be those who don`t go to a church with a name.God said that the world was his church.We are his church.

His Church. The True Christians.

WE (the followers) are the church - not a building or denomination. Those who seek and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. John 14 Jesus says: "I am the way, the truth and life. No one comes to the Father, but through me."

The 144,000 will be Jews. There will be people from many denominations raptured. The key is being born again, not Baptist, or Methodist.
