Again, the blood of bulls and goats could not, could not, take away sin.
John the Baptist is saved.Was he saved?
As usual Smaller you are long on theology, short on rightly dividing the word of truth. I've NEVER intimated John nor the faithful under the old law were not now saved. Sorry, Charlie!
A study of Heb.11:39,40 concludes that John was not saved in reality before the cross. The blood of animals could not remit sin, Heb.10:4. John lived under the law of Moses.
Smaller, if you insist on answering my post please do so faithfully. What I said was in post 5. I did not say "John was not saved" and stop there. You have not only the problem of not "rightly dividing the word of truth" (God's word) but the writings of mere humans.
Now, you tell us, did John live under the law of Moses? Yes or No?
Could the blood of animals save? Yes or no?
Your reference to Lk.20:37,38 has nothing to say about the time when John's salvation (or any under the old law for that matter) became reality.
Answer this: Could anyone under the old law be saved by the blood of animals (Heb.10:4)?? I know of only ONE ( 1 ) way any could but I shall leave it to you to discover it, if you can.
God bless

'How' and 'when', not to mention 'why', can be argued over, but luckily John's salvation was not left to us.
Yes, I'm sure he was. What sin was he committing?Was he saved?
