These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

22.  Jesus, Savior of People in His Church  As with Christ's kingdom, we see regarding the church: Acts 2:47  We are added to the church when we are baptized (Acts 2:47). 1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 1:22-23  We are baptized into the body, which is the church (1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 1:22-23).
