And just followed the teachings of the NT. If that is so, then why bother having the Old Testament included in most Bibles? I think that if there were never an OT in my Bible, it would have been less likely that I stopped believing in it.

For some denominations, I think you're right. There is so much of a disconnect that the OT is just baggage to fill the leather covers with.

Even if salvation were more than just a pipe dream, the Bible contradicts itself as to how one is saved. Paul says you are saved by faith, but Jesus said to follow the commandments and sell all you have and give it to the poor to be saved. He also said he came to save mankind - implying everyone would be saved, and in other places he made comments that it's nearly impossible to be saved.

The Old Testament is the foundation of the New and can not be disregarded in any manner.

I don't know about the saved part, but I know they would be much less confused!
