Cheryl,
I think the main point that he is saying, and that I concede is that the bible says that we are saved in one sense when we believe the gospel but we can also in another sense look forward to our future salvation. I think the passage you quoted from 1 Cor 3 confirms this. A man who is already saved “will be saved” in the future.
In this sense, my comp friend says Paul could be saying Eve “will be saved”. Someone can be dead and yet “will be saved” in the future. So it is not the fact that Eve is dead that means v 15a can’t refer to her, it is the fact that she is dead AND her salvation is conditional on “they” doing something. So your statement
“she shall be saved” is also future tense so “she” cannot be referring to a dead Eve but must be referring to someone else.”
is not quite true as it stands. The “AND” above is critical to the argument.
It is the “AND” that has my friend stumped. He admits that at the moment, and is still thinking.
