Are you sure? I think they would believe in the prospective or universal application of Christ's death on the cross to Old Testament believers. That's what Nee taught. That's what I'm saying here.

When I mentioned the prospective application of Christ's death on the cross to Old Testament saints, I was actually thinking of this work:

Collected Works of Watchman Nee, The (Set 1) Vol. 06: The Christian (4) "HOW WERE MEN SAVED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT?"

It talks about the timelessness of the cross.

It says "As men in the Old Testament looked to a coming Savior and were saved, in the same way we look to a past Savior and are saved."

"Those who offered the sacrifices in the Old Testament, consciously or unconsciously, believed in a coming crucified Savior. All their sacrifices were to turn them to the coming Savior. "

If they were saved, they were regenerated, if they were regenerated, they were "born again".

Only born again/regenerated/saved people enter the kingdom of God. So Old Testament saints must be born again.

About saved from birth, maybe they wouldn't. So I'm wondering if they believe that babies go to hell? I don't recall this ever being taught in the LR. Do you know what they believe?
