Luke: nail on the head.
Winman: Just to be clear, I don't believe for a second that anyone could ever be saved without the shed blood of Christ. However, nobody in the Old Testament preached, heard, or believed "the Gospel" that we hear and believe today. In all times salvation is of God's grace, but in all times that grace is conditioned on doing what God says. Today, our Gospel is simple as easy: believe. Before Christ, and even for a little while after, it was not the same "message"/Gospel.
