So the Holy Spirit has always been active on earth but not living
inside of men and women permanently before the day of Pentecost.
After Pentecost the Holy Spirit started living permanently inside
of believers until they die. This means that people living during
the tribulation can be saved also. The Holy Spirit will be active
but not living permanently in believers. It will be a horrible
life and many who accept Jesus will die for their faith. Revelation
7:4-13 tells us that there will 144,000 evangelists or missionaries
for Jesus Christ during the tribulation and the following passage
tells us that many will become Christians during the tribulation.

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude,
which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes
and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and
before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches
were in their hands; and they cry out with a loud voice,
saying, Salvation to our God who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb. And all the angels were standing
around the throne and around the elders and the four living
creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne
and worshiped God, saying, Amen, blessing and glory
and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
be to our God forever and ever. Amen. And one of
the elders answered, saying to me, These who are
clothed in the white robes, who are they, and from where
have they come?And I said to him, My lord,
you know. And he said to me, 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.(NASB)
Revelation 7:9-14

People are saved during the tribulation.
Telling
The Truth. You ask an interesting question,
"
Should we tell people that they can accept Jesus during the
tribulation?
" Let me answer the question two ways. First, I am responsible
for accurately teaching what the Bible says. I do not want to
sin by distorting what the Bible says. I am aware that many
manipulate the Bible in order to support some philosophy or
opinion they hold. But we are not responsible for someone's
misuse of truth. We are only responsible for teaching what God
has said.
Second, I hope no one is waiting until
the tribulation to be saved because the tribulation may not
come during their life time. The tribulation will be a horrible
time of suffering. But if someone did find themselves in the
tribulation and found this question on this website, I would
want them to know the truth that they can be saved by believing
in Jesus.
Conclusion:
Today is the day of salvation and not tomorrow. We cannot be
sure that we will live until tomorrow
to believe in Jesus
