Thanks,

Still if CHrist will redeem some from every tongue, tribe and nation, and whole tribes have gone out of existence without a believer, how is Scripture still true?

Again: Christ did not say that He woul redeem some from some tribes, but some from every tribe, tongue, nations...


Also;
In Genesis, right before Babel, the table of nations is listed. Are these prototypical nations? THis would mean that the Gospel was preached to all nations at Acts 2 possibly if the term "nations" is defined by this table of nations in Genesis.




What about the whole "People group Focus" of modern missions. Is it an improvement? A bad thing? And can it be used to prioritize the sending of missionaries?



Also, if we send evangelists to Group X and try to saturate Group X with the Gospel and create an indigenous church in Group X, rather than merely a geographical area how is this related to the Homogenous Unit Principle? We are targetting specific peoples after all and trying to create to communicate the Gospel to those target peoples in particular.
