So then, you're saying that baptism is NOT essential for salvation because:
"ALL before the cross are saved by the same blood of Christ..." and,
"All had to show a faith that worked by way of a shadow dependent upon the cross..."
They were all saved by faith in the
coming Messiah. We today are saved by faith in what that Messiah did approximately 2,000 years ago.
Right?
