The OT was provided over a thousand of years, You do not understand every reference, so how can they understand when all had not been written? Job as an example, did he have the OT?

no trouble, you are misreading as shown earlier

no, I do not think so. I need the verse. Belief in Jesus is necessary

There were many that claimed to be Messiah, what if they believed on them? We agree believing on the Messiah to come is counted for righteousness but it is not complete for salvation. Jesus provided completion

By accepting Jesus as Savior, no other way

no , not the sinners but the righteous, If you say there is no "second chance ", they had not had a first to learn of Jesus. They are either not in Heaven or God provided a different way of salvation. Which are both wrong

Jesus had to show disciples all scripture pertaining to him so your statement might be true but they did not know Him.

It did not saved but was accounted for righteousness for them , all in Hebrews 11, Salvation is of Jesus Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Common knowledge where I am from. Maybe it needs to be taught in other areas.

my goodness, not English, not believing in God, not believing that God is salvation but only belief in nane of Jesus will get you to heaven. If you are not to invent another way to Heaven and decide God does have favorites, then these OT saints have to hear about JESUS. When did this happen...

From another post we discussed them going to Heaven , but this is based mainly upon one statement from David. It is one of my favorite subjects. (I believe differently than most here in this regard and would prefer to discuss this separately) We have been talking about those that were...

God provides salvation. (to His glory) the only access to God is through Jesus and the only way to Jesus is the Holy Spirit.
