I think a better question is How could anyone be saved before the atonement?
And that is definitely a subject for another thread! But I'll give you a very quick and simple answer by quoting a biblical text which couldn't be much clearer:


Galatians 3:6-9 (ASV) "Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, [saying,] In thee shall all the nations be blessed. So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham."


IF you are wanting to discuss this further, then you should start a new thread in the Theology Forum. [Linked Image]
