ARE THE OT SAINTS INCLUDED IN THE BRIDE OF CHRIST?
the OT Saints were never christians
they never called on the name Jesus
they looked forward to the Messiah (Christ)
Mat 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
the least christian is greater than the greatest OT Prophet/Saint??????????
the OT Saints never sang the children's song........COME INTO MY HEART, LORD JESUS!
the JUDAIZER believes all the essentials of the NT, but he is damned, because he includes/requires/practices the OT rituals.
Read Galatians
the Christian Church began on Pentecost (FIRST FRUITS) ACTS 2.
CHRISTIANS are first fruits.............Christ is THE FIRST FRUIT.
the OT Saint was concentrating on physical rituals..........
the NT Saint is FAR MORE concerned with SPIRITUAL things, than physical things.
the physical is temporary
the spiritual is eternal
the OT Saint was seldom indwelt/filled by the Holy Spirit
the NT Saint is always indwelt by the Holy Spirit, unless he loses his salvation
the OT Saint never prayed IN THE NAME OF JESUS
