Craig

He is thinking of christians who have died. He is an evangelical, bible believing christian. He would argue that the bible uses the term salvation sometimes in an eschatalogical sense (I think that is the correct expression), looking toward the final judgement.
I would need to do some research to know if he is correct, but it sounded reasonable to me.
He realises that even if that is true, he can’t explain the rest of the verse and is thinking about it before he gets back to me.
