Bible Note: Hello Angel, "No" to both questions. 1 Pet says that Christ went to make proclamation to the spirits now in prison. That means they were in prison when Peter penned his letter. This means they are still in prison and will not be released. They were not given an opportunity to believe. The opportunity to believe and obey had passed. There was no secret covenant. God had revealed Himself and was mostly rejected. He chose Abraham to be the one through whom the savior of man would come (though Abraham didn't understand all this at the time). However, the requirement for righteousness has always been faith (Heb 11). Steve |
