So, we can agree to conceed that there are exceptions to the requirement of salvation? One who does not have the opportunity to partake in foot washing can be saved, even though, as you say, they are commanded by the Lord to do so? Then, by that reasoning, those who have never had the opportunity to be baptized in Jesus' Name can be saved as well? What about the multitudes in foreign lands who have never heard about Jesus Christ, they will be saved because they hadn't heard the Gospel? Or have never recieved the revelation of the Oneness of the Godhead? Seems the rigid and unchangeable Plan of Salvation may not be so regid after all.
