You ignore Schofield and other dispensationalists saying elsewhere that salvation has always been by faith.

The law, however, was imposed as a schoolmaster to lead us to Christ.

And the truth is that anyone who DID observe the law in all points would be saved.

That actually happened.

Once.

“You ignore Schofield and other dispensationalists saying elsewhere that salvation has always been by faith.”

Sorry but “no longer legal obedience as THE condition of salvation” can only be taken one way.

I’m sure most dispensationalists would not agree with that statement. But it was the Scofield Bible that made dispensationalism popular.

Since dispensationalism began with Darby in the 1830s, that means that for 1800 years all of the Christians who were guided by the Holy Spirit were all so completely wrong.

I don’t think this is possible.
Rom 5:13-14 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Notice here that sin is not imputed to the people that lived from Adam to Moses. They were not held responsible for their sins, yet they still died. It is death that indicated that they died in sin, (Adam’s sin) because the wages of sin is death. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. (Rom 5:20)
Luke 17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
That actually happened.

Once.

In Adam, all die but Christ is a special case, perhaps because he had a different father.

I thought you didn't read Scofield.
