Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. It is specific,

Knowing Jehovah is not salvation, The devils believe God and are not saved Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

The Rabbi's today look for the same . There has to be more. They did not know Jesus or that He would die, Look at the attitudes of the disciples, they did not know. Those who were righteousness and were made aware of the Gospel from Jesus directly were saved

Rahab knew all this ? Abel ? Sara? no, all were before the Law . Yet they are in the Faith chapter. Wont fit all who were "accounted for righteousness"

I agree, but the hope of a Messiah is not the same as knowing Jesus as Messiah. Jesus had to complete he information and did so for these OT saints . They could not know of nor believe on Jesus before their death. The modern Jews still hope for a Messiah. The OT Jews who hoped for a Messiah...

neither, They did not know Jesus as the Messiah, Some knew and expected a Messiah to come, but the Jews still do today, it is not enough. let me expand, We consider the the OT "angel of the Lord " might be Jesus in several verses. We know that Jesus did not become the Son of God until He...

Let me go ahead, There is only one method of SALVATION,, 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. So how did the OT saints enter Heaven without a knowledge of Jesus, simple they DID NOT. Neither did...

The Godhead, all three. The Lord, of the OT. Gen 22 11-15 shows both.

simple, Abraham and the others are living

You are not saved by having faith in God. Heb 11:39¶ And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. I should have added an example, Every good...

no, I would rather hear how Rahab was saved the same a Lydia in Acts Act 16:14 One of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart, and she accepted what Paul was saying.

She So all these were saved without Jesus as personal saviour? different than NT,? note: Yahweh is not Jesus

What did she have faith in?

Are you saying God selectively gave Rahab a knowledge of Jesus as the Messiah?

There seems to be confusion as to the method of salvation throughout the ages. As mentioned in a recent thread, some seem to believe that believing God is salvation. Some seem to believe that a Messiah will come is sufficient. We (most hereon this site )believe today that one must repent and...

Abraham, isaac etc. did not know of the Messiah. We do not know of the Messiah until Daniel. Earlier ones only knew of God , Your position is that is sufficient, I say it is incomplete until the cross. The scripture says faith was accounted for righteousness. This is not the same. It wasn't...

no, the expected a Messiah as the Jews do today, A righteous Jew today that has belief in God is not sufficient to inherit eternal life

I know the verses, non say Abraham believed on Jesus.. If you are saying that obeying God is sufficient for Heaven access, that is different that confessing Jesus as Savior. Which is why Jesus had to tell them of Himself as Savior., just an the ones on Emasus Rd., He told those in...
