No. They will be resurrected. "Born from above." Also, they will be resurrected to earth, not heaven.


They will be saved by faith, as all people will. But in the OT, people had to demonstrate their faith by keeping the law of Moses (Deut 6:25).

Then, how do you interpret Isaiah 63:11?

^^^ Calvinist mishandling of the scriptures. ^^^

God wants everyone to be saved, and anyone has the capacity to believe the gospel, which is why we are to preach it to them.

The remnant of the house of Israel is to preach to the lost sheep (God's disobedient) of the house of Israel, who have the promise of an eternal inheritance, but do not have a knowledge of the gospel.

The question posted is...What must I do to be saved? It is not asking.. What must God do that I might be saved?

The born again child of God can be saved (delivered) here in time, by his good works, but he did not do anything to be delivered eternally.

He took care of saving, those that his Father gave him, long ago, and there was no "night be saved " involved in it.

He heard the gospel and decided to believe it. That's when he became born again (Eph 1:13), or as you put it, "eternally delivered."

Israel is Israel, Christianity is offered to both Jews (Israel) and gentiles.

God gives to Jesus those who decide to believe the gospel, something anyone can choose to do.
God wants everyone to be saved (1 Tim 2:4), He commands all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30).

Jesus eternally saved all of those that his Father gave him by his death on the cross. Being born again is the after manifestation of his being saved eternally on the cross, so that he could live a happy and joyful life as he sojourned here on earth.

The gospel is the good news of our eternal salvation on the cross, and also, instructs us how to live a good and peaceful life as we sojourn here on earth, by following his commandments.

Spiritual Israel, Not the nation of Israel, is comprised of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (Rev 5:9).

1 Tim 2 - Timothy is instructing the born again (the church at Ephesus) to pray for all men that are in authority, so that the church may lead a quiet and peaceful life.

Saved=delivered. The "all men" has reference to a newborn babe in Christ, he has limited knowledge of the truth, until he matures enough to be weaned from the milk of the word (Isaiah 28:9). The newborn babe in Christ is delivered (saved) from his ignorance, when he comes unto a knowledge of the gospel.

Acts 17:30 - Paul speaking to the men of Athens about the unknown God that they worship, referring to them as "the offspring of God" (Strong's - born of God) telling all of them, that are born of God, who are worshiping idols, that at the times of this ignorance, God
winked at, but now commandeth all men, everywhere, who are born of God, and are worshiping idols, to repent.
