Again, salvation isn’t based on whether or not one believes anything that was written in the Old Testament, literally or figuratively.
But it is based on believing in the Gospel.
As long as one acknowledges that Jesus died for the sins of everyone and rose from the dead, and one accepts God’s gift of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus alone, then they’re good to go. Period.
You have a choice. God will honor your choice. You can choose to spend eternity in His presence. It’s easy. It’s simple. Nothing complicated about it. At all. Or you can choose to ‘not’ spend eternity in His presence. The choice is yours.
If he doesn't exist, it's an empty choice.
If it's an empty choice, and you chose to not spend eternity in his presence, you better be right. Posted this on here years ago and think about it often. I was in Virginia once and at a gas station....an old gentleman came out to get in his real old pickup....had a pair of overalls on...old straw had. As he got in his truck and turned around...I saw an old license plate on the front bumper...it said.."When you die and believe there is no God...you better be right." Think about that often.
