I’ve been told that OT saints were saved by faith but not indwelt by the Spirit. Instead, the Spirit was upon them. Furthermore, OT saints were not united to Christ. This is a distinctly post-ascension phenomenon.
It seems to me that this undermines the essence of covenant theology. How else would OT saints be in a substantially gracious covenant if not through their union with Christ by Spirit wrought faith?
