You think Able or Noah or Abraham went to hell for not calling on the name of Jesus?


PS. This was not directed at you, Ricky, but to what i consider common modern misconceptions.

For the record, both Abraham and Moses met Jesus face to face. He wasn't yet called Jesus, though. He was called The Angel of the Lord. Abraham met him at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Moses met him in the burning bush. The Bible doesn't specifically say that Abel met Jesus but his brother Cain did. Jesus was/is the visible one in the trinity. When someone in the OT talks to God face to face, that's Jesus.

All of the OT people needed saving, just like us. They were still saved by Jesus' blood even though it didn't happen for another few centuries. Their faith was considered righteousness and saved them by what Jesus would do later.
