>>>Except for that to be true, those people would have been preached to by Peter, not happening. He was talking to believers then alive and believers hence.<<<
Where can I find that? Where did Peter write that he was talking to believers then alive and believers hence?
Philip
You can find the part about the believers then alive in the text, else Peter was preaching to the dead. To what purpose? They already had their reward. As for believers hence, are we not discussing this? I don’t separate the faithful remnant of Israel from the Church as it is the same tree. No Jew/Greek/male/female/ just one in Christ. All in the royal priesthood of our King. As for the membership in the first resurrection those who died in Christ or who will before the Second Coming are those members. The extant believers in Christ transformed at His Second Coming will be also.
