Edit: They clain that only 14,000 individuals are to go to Heaven..the bible Clearly states that it will be Tribes.

Nowhere in the Bible. It is their organizations voice they mistake for God's voice.
All God's people go to heaven, it is not a set number.

A tribe is defined in dictionary.com as
1. any aggregate of people united by ties of descent from a common ancestor, community of customs and traditions, adherence to the same leaders, etc
2. company, group, or number of persons
So a tribe is composed of persons/individuals. In Rev 6 & 7, the slaves of God (individuals) are composing the tribes (group of people that adhere to the same leaders , Jehovah and Jesus)

one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe.
12,000 individuals from 12 tribes = 144,000.
Who are Jews today?
Rom 2:28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
29But he is a Jew who is one inwardly;
Anointed Christians are the Jews of today, totalling 144,000.
Who is Israel today?
Gal. 6:15For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
The Israel of God are those Christians who are going to heaven.
