I thought it is said in the Bible, "do you think that since you claim Abraham as your father you are save, I assure you the God could raise even these rocks to be descendents of Abraham." So no. The Abrahamic Covenant was replaced with the Mosaic Covenant which in turn was replaced by the Final Covenant of Jesus.

If you are a Jew (which acc to Jewish law, requires matrilenial descent), the whole concept of being "saved" seems silly, and you would not care what a bunch of christians think in that regard. If you are a christian, you are "saved" by believing the paul storybook, and are ok anyway, no need to "double up"..

Being of Jewish decent doen not necessarily save you, although Israel was and is God's chosen people. Remember that God destroyed many of the Isarelites when they were in the desert.
The gentiles have been grafted into the family of God. See the teachings of Paul.

Save automatically? Jesus told the teachers of the Law and the Chief priests that they were of their father the Devil.. Is that the kind of salvation you were hoping to get automatically? Jim

No one is saved by the old reckoning. You are not saved by who you are, but by who Christ is. There were thousands of Abraham's descendants who were destroyed by God for their evil ways. Look at the wars between Israel and Judah...all of them were the sons of Abraham. Look at Ishmael and his religion...he was a son of Abraham as well. Do you believe that your religion will not save you? I do. Only God will save you by faith in Jesus Christ. Nothing you or I can do will change who God wants to save...in other words, if we love Him we keep his commandments, and do what he asks us to do. If we have a sincere heart, He knows it.

Are all Jewish people saved in the Bible? What about the one's who worshipped the golden calf? What about the ones who rejected Jesus? Being Jewish with no faith in God will not get you anywhere.

nobody is saved automatically because we are all sinners and that seperates us from God automatically. Israeli's in old testament times were Gods people and although they still are, Jesus death means that anybody who accepts him as there lord and savior is also one of his chosen people. hope i could help

You're very honoured to be one of God's special people! Not sure what you mean by 'saved', but us Christians believe you can only be saved through faith in Jesus, who we believe was/is the Messiah.

"The Lord could raise up children of Abraham from these stones," so, no. No guarantees there.
