So do you believe that they did not have to “ confess with their mouth and believe in there heart that Jesus died, and rose from the dead for sin ?
Those who have died prior to the advent of Pentecost are dead ....actually anyone who has died is in the grave sheol ... (that is the state of the dead not the place) nobody in heaven save, God, Jesus, and the angels.
In Romans 10:5-10, our faith references Deuteronomy 30:11-16 in regard to saying that God's law is not too difficult for us to obey, that the one who obeys it will attain life by it, in regard to what we are agreeing to obey when we confess that Jesus is Lord, and in regard to the way to believe that he rose from the dead. In Titus 2:14, Jesus gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own possession who are zealous for doing good works, so becoming zealous for doing good works in obedience to God's law is the way to believe in what Jesus accomplished through the cross (Acts 21:20).
I don’t understand what that verse has to do with Abraham and his acceptance of Jesus. This verse seems to say that his descendants will be more than he could count. How does this apply to what I am asking
Galatians 2:16 “ because no flesh at all will be vindicated from observance of law” it sounds like you think that by observance to the law we are saved?
All the promises were made to the singular Seed, Jesus Christ (Gal 3:16).
So you believe that the blood of animals is equal to the blood of Jesus?
Jesus went and preached to them while He was in the tomb, check 1 Peter 3:18-20 and 4:6
No, as I said it indicates there faith in God and that God saves them.
If faith in God would save them then why did Jesus die when faith in God would get the same results?
Without the shedding of Blood there is No forgiveness for sin. is why Jesus had to die.
In John 14 Jesus is talking to the 12 and not making general philosophical statements.
The personal relationship is spending time with him through prayer and by reading his word, His Word is the main way He communicates with us humans.
