And I just wanted to say a huge "AMEN!" to this. You faithfully and succintly addressed a question that I have found many to be asking. <BR/><BR/>Your Christ-centered treatment of the OT saints' faith is sorely lacking all across the Church in America today. Praise God for this short but immensely helpful post! <BR/><BR/>I only hope that you might strive to major your ministry on such subjects as these, and thereby avoid needless and Godless schism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-1162217033862767912006-10-30T06:03:00.000-08:002006-10-30T06:03:00.000-08:00Vocabulary is so important!

Now I have the understanding of what He actually intended "pavresiß" (passing over).

The method of salvation has never changed--it has always been through faith in the Word of God. Abraham was saved when he simply believed what God said. We are saved by believing what God said. Yes we are saved by placing our faith in Christ for forgiveness of sins, but it is from the Word that we find out about salvation. We are saved by believing what the Bible says about Christ. "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever" (1 Peter 1:23). OT and NT salvation is by means of the Word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
