[QUOTE="HypnoToad, post: 72635643, member: 112680"] False, false, false. One really has to wonder just how many times it has to be pointed out to you. Does the New Testament express how ANYONE is saved? Yep. John 14:6 - "No one comes to the Father except through me." - Jesus. So, first we see the NT explicitly stating that EVERYONE is dependent on Jesus. Nowhere is there any restriction whatsoever that limits this to people after Jesus' ministry. Does the New Testament mention how people in the Old Testament achieved righteousness before God? Yep. Romans 4:3 - "For what does the scripture say? “[I]Abraham believed God, and it was credited[/I] [I]to him as righteousness[/I].”" So, second, we see it's dependent on belief on God (faith). Third, you already admitted that God is not bound by time - post #42. Put all three together - ALL are saved by Jesus' atonement, through faith in God, and no time restriction. [/QUOTE]
