Salvation in the Old Testament
We need to start with the “big-picture” of salvation in the Old Testament. Then we’ll look at a few places—particularly in Romans—that speak directly to the question of salvation prior to Christ’s coming. Once we do this, the popular but heretical answers that people were “saved by their works”...HISTORICISM, PRETERISM AND REFORMED THEOLOGY
Dr. Gentry: “You are committed to the Reformed faith, yet you don’t take the historicist approach to eschatology which was widely held among the Reformers. Why do you not follow the Reformers in this part of their theology?” G.K., Minneapolis, Minn. Gentry’s response: Thank you for your inquiry. You...All Israel will be saved: Notes on Romans 11:26
As with most theological positions, there are a variety of interpretations of this passage: (1) The salvation of every racial/ethnic Jew. This is an impossible interpretation.
