Subject: O.T. Israel salvation? |
Bible Note: Dear Greg Martin, Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus! "For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and all ate the same spiritual food; and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ. Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness." 1 Corinthians 10:1-5 NASB. I, personally, believe that if you are saved by faith, you are saved by faith. You cannot lose your salvation. Nor do I think it is easy to 'forfeit' salvation, thought there is some Biblical evidence that it is possible. Now the salvation by faith of Israel is a type of our New Testament salvation. Was Israel saved or not? Or are you saying only some were saved? (remember, ALL were baptized in the cloud and the sea!) Does displeasing the Lord cause a believer to lose salvation, as in laid low? As I see it, Moses was also displeasing to the Lord, and was laid low in the wilderness. However, I believe that Moses was saved. (by grace, through faith) His faith may have been imperfect and 'spotty,' but isn't ours? Who is worthy to enter heaven on their own merits? No one I'VE ever met! :-) Blessings and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
