Actually, would hold that while the Mosaic Covenant was conditional being based upon the Law and observing it, that all salvation of the OT was administered thru the coming new Covenant, as always been God same way to save any lost sinner, by the basis of the Cross of Christ

God foreknowledge ties into His exhaustive knowledge and Omniscience, as all those whom He elected and predestined He knew them in an intimate sense, as He was the cause behind their salvation, not just passive observer of it

Jesus is very God, both the Father and Jesus are Yahweh, as is the Holy Spirit

Its both, as the chosen elect of God shall indeed receive Jesus as their savior thru the gift of Faith

Those who seek the Lord Jesus to save them from their sins are the very elect of God, being enabled and led by the Holy Spirit to do that, NOT due to themselves desiring it

Pauls opinions and advice were inspired by the Holy Spirit to be seen as "gospel truth"

Have to disagree, as those of us who hold to a Calvinist Soteriology would see that we are indeed applying sola scriptura in the ultimate sense of the term
