I rather think of calling white human beings "popular" is the equivalent of calling a black individual the N_word in case you enable yahoo questions tell it.

Humans having a relationship with God has always been predicated upon faith, not works. That's what seperates belief in the true God from all other religions. Judaism used to be this way, but throughout time lost sight of the focal point of God's message - the Redeemer. That being said, I believe it is Adam and Eve who first excercised saving faith in relationship to God. When they were expelled from the Garden of Eden, their sin had brought spiritual death, and in turn, would lead to the death of all things. That's when God's plan of exercising faith in Him was instituted. And we can see that Adam and Eve believed God by their willingness to obey Him and offer sacrifices to Him. The sacrifices didn't save them; their faith in God did. The sacrifices were symbolic of none other than Jesus Christ, the future coming Messiah. Old Testament characters were saved by faith in the coming Messiah just as we are saved by faith in the Messiah who came, and is coming again. By reading the book of Hebrews, we understand that Abraham was saved, not as a result of his actions, but his faith in God. So it has been for all of history past and will be until the day of judgment.

Depends on what you mean. I suppose it was the thief on the cross who asked Jesus for forgiveness.

But people were saved under the Old Covenant, also. If you are asking who was the first to be forgiven, I suppose that most would say Adam.

My guess , I do not remember reading - this was the first person anywhere, Luke mentions that one of the others on the cross was forgiven by Jesus Christ and told that he would also enter into heaven with Jesus. AMEN!

According to the christianity and the bible it said that Jesus was the first Jesus, but i dont really think that he was the first one to be saved.

I had to think about this one for a minute or two. I would have to say it was Simon Peter as he was the first one to say that
"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Hmm, good question. If I had to guess, I'd have to say either the woman at the well, one of Christ's disciples, or the theif on the cross next to Jesus.
