    Of course. The points of that passage are that the Gospel was preached to Israel first, and that the just (physical Jew and Gentile) are saved by faith. The other passages clearly teach that the "true Jew" is of the spirit, not by race or circumcision.

    Both terms apply. While we are still Gentiles, we are the Spiritual Israel.

    Back it up at least to v 13:

    13 for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified:
    14 (for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;
    15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them);

    True Jews inwardly are 'doers of the law', circumcised in heart, with the law written upon it.

    It makes us SPIRITUAL Jews. But one must be born a PHYSICAL Jew to be one.

    I agree we are all saved by Grace through faith. Yet this does not make us Jews, it makes us Christians. It's true we are one in Christ Being Jewish suggest a different religious sect. This whole nonsense of being elect and Jews is assumed. Jews who are saved become Christian. They are no longer Jews. They are Christian. My self I've been set free from the Law. To Be Jewish places us under the Law.

    Paul seems to make distinction between Israel, Jews of the flesh, and saved Jews who are Spiritual Israel!

    Yes, as there are some who seem to hold that we somehow become Jewish when saved?

    Being a Jew implies a religious sect not a nationality.To be Jewish is the old covenant that has nothing to do with Christ. They rejected Christ.

    SCRIPTURE gives the Jews a nationality.

    Christians are the True Jews because we have been set free from the Law. Whether we refer to ourselves as Christians or Spiritual Israel is a matter of semantics. They are interchangeable terms. The point is that there is only one "people of God", and only one way to salvation - through faith. Even the "heroes" listed in Hebrews 11 were justified by their faith. There is no special advantage for the Israeli race.

    Outside of Christ, who has "done the law" so that they stand before God, justified by their works?

    The answer is...no one. Not one person. Why? Because, as Paul constantly states, the law does three things.
    1) The law reveals sin.
    2) The law provokes sin.
    3) The law condemns sin.

    Paul then finishes with this statement:
    "The wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
    ~ Romans 6:23

    kyredneck, you are missing Paul's point.

    Wow. Romans 2:29, "But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."

    What you said about being set free from the Law makes us Christians. I do not observe the Law to be saved. . No where in scripture does is it ever say we are made Jews the moment we believe .Spiritual or physical We become followers of Christ called Christian. When a Jew is saved he becomes Christian and is no longer a Jew.

    Israelite is who they are. Jewishness is there belief system, Just like we are Baptist. Judaism is there religion hence the name Jew. So if we become Jews then we must keep the Law. We are not under the Law. nor can we be.

    To be one inwardly means keeping the Law.

    No.

    Paul makes this very clear in his letter to the Romans.

    Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
    ~ Romans 7:4-6

    Christ has torn down that divider that separated Jews and Gentiles. Dispensationialism seeks to re-erect it.
