Maybe it is time to look at a different (I think more perfect) OT type for salvation and deliverance, the passover that brought deliverance from captivity to the Israelites.
Would the first born of a household have been spared if they had not obeyed ALL of Moses instruction? Would a family have escaped Egypt if they had used an unqualified lamb? Would the first born have been spared if the father had put blood only on the door posts but not the lintel or the Lintel and one door post?
I believe the application of the blood in the passover is a more accurate type of salvation than the tabernacle plan. I believe that the blood is applied in all three acts of faith on the part of the believer: repentance, baptism in Jesus Name, and receipt of the Gift of the Holy Ghost! If you miss any of them you fail in all of them and the assigned judgment will accompany the lack of proper application of the instruction of God's word!
Further, failure to consume the lamb AND the bitter herbs and packing of your bags in anticipation of a God ordained and empowered journey will also result in loss of access to the fullness of God's promise!

What scriptural supports can you share with us to support that the blood is applied in all three steps?
I love typologies also ...but I think we often try to fit Christ and the salvation he provided to fit our theologies .... Why do we insist to think that Christ and the salvation provided points to typologies? All of these typologies point to him. Yet none are better than this new covenant!!!!!
Undoubtedly the Passover is a type but so is the tabernacle plan ... although it is misconstrued by many.... Phil, why do you think the writer of Hebrews uses tabernacle typology to describe what our Hight Priest has done for us?
