Featured What are the Differences between Old/New Covenants?

I never said the were the norm because both continued to live to adulthood. My point was that you are limiting God in the salvation of infants. If he can do that with John the Baptist as an infant, how can you deny He can do that with every dying infant as well?

 

You have NO SCRIPTURE AT ALL that teaches how God saves dying infants or those incapable of discerning good from evil and yet you SURMISE on NOTHING.

However, my surmising is based upon what God can do and has done in regard to infants.

 

The person writing this has no clue to what he is talking about.

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in Old Testament times was selective and temporary. He was nevertheless working in the lives of people to do much of the same type of thing as seen in John 16:8-11, though the object of faith was different.

The object of faith was not different as Jn. 14:6;Acts 4:12; Acts 10:43; Luke 24:24-26; 43-45; Acts 26:22-23 explicitly denies.



In the Old Testament there was the anticipation of the coming of Christ through the tabernacle, priesthood, and sacrifices.

What about Abel, Seth, Noah, Job, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and even Moses BEFORE there was a tabernacle, preisthood and levitical sacrificial system?????



The Holy Spirit obviously had to regenerate people

He is inconsistent but at least he admits the obvious but do you? He is simply ignorant that regeneration is quickening (becoming SPIRITUALLY ALIVE) or SPIRITUAL UNION with God. There is no spiritual life without spiritual union with God because God is the source of spiritual life.

It is impossible to be made spiritually alive and not be spiritually united to God! Impossible - Rom. 8:8-9.
