Those who are saved, from the beginning of this earth, are saved by grace through faith. There are not different times and ways in which people are saved. This is where I most strongly disagree with the Dispensationalists-that people were saved in various modes in each dispensation.
NO ONE that I know of thinks there are different ways of being saved in different dispensations. It has always been by faith and always will be by faith. That doesn't change the fact that God has managed the affairs (dispensations) of people at different times.
**Those who are saved, from the beginning of this earth, are saved by grace through faith.**
Faith that God exists?.....or that, not only does God exist, but he has laid out something for me to do in faith:
Present a better sacrifice.
Please God.
Build an ark.
Leave Haran.
Give birth (even if you are an old woman, and doubt it could happen).
etc.
Moses believed God, but didn’t want the job.

God has given a LOT of different commands since Adam. WHICH of them were not needed? Which of them had nothing to do with faith?
