Yes, the Body of Christ is insulated from the tribulation because it is not part of the prophetic program for Israel.
Les Feldick teaches that the Body of Christ is a distinct, primarily Gentile entity revealed only through the Apostle Paul, and it is not associated with Old Testament prophecy or the Gospels. The tribulation is primarily God's dealing with Israel under the Law, so the Church must be removed before that time begins. This removal is the Rapture, which occurs when the Body of Christ is complete.
Romans 11:25 — This verse explains that when the fullness of the Gentiles is brought in, God will turn again to Israel, indicating the Church's removal before the tribulation.
Romans 11:25 (KJV) states: "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." This verse indicates that Israel's blindness continues until the full number of Gentiles is saved, after which God will turn back to Israel. Scripture also speaks of the tribulation as a time of Jacob's trouble (Jeremiah 30:7) and associates it with Israel's restoration, not with the Church. The Gospels and Old Testament contain prophecies of a coming King and Kingdom, but these are not fulfilled in the Church age.
Les Feldick teaches that the Body of Christ is a distinct entity, primarily Gentile in nature, and is not part of the prophetic program that belongs to Israel. He emphasizes that the Church was a mystery revealed only to the Apostle Paul, not found in the Old Testament or the Gospels. Because the tribulation is primarily God's dealing with Israel under the Law, the Body of Christ must be removed before it begins. This removal is the Rapture, which occurs when the Body of Christ is complete, fulfilling Romans 11:25.
Les Feldick teaches that the Body of Christ is a distinct entity, primarily Gentile in nature, that was revealed only through the Apostle Paul. It was not mentioned in the Old Testament or the Gospels, and it is separate from Israel's prophetic program.
Les Feldick teaches that the tribulation is primarily God's dealing with Israel under the Law, and the Church is not part of that program. He states that "you cannot mix Law and Grace from the front end, you can't mix Grace and Law on the tail end," so the Church must be taken out of the way for God to resume His dealings with Israel. This is supported by Romans 11:25, which shows that when the fullness of the Gentiles is brought in, God turns again to Israel.
Les teaches that during the tribulation, many Jews and Gentiles will believe and be martyred, but they are not members of the Body of Christ. He puts them with Old Testament believers, because the tribulation is primarily a Jewish period.

program. We trust that you understand that we do tape four programs all at once. I've rehearsed this over the years, because once in a while somebody will ask me if I only have one shirt. Now I'll grant you, I don't have a lot of them, but the reason I wear one shirt for a month is because we do tape four programs all at one time. We want people to know that.

Romans 11:25: For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
This verse shows that Israel's blindness will continue until the full number of Gentiles is saved, after which God will turn to Israel.
Jeremiah 30:7: Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
This verse identifies the tribulation as a time of trouble for Israel, not for the Church.
