Don,
The problem with this is that the proper way to speak about that “group” would be either with the singular form or the plural but never a mixture. i.e. “She will be saved…if she…” could then refer to that group or “They will be saved…if they..” could also refer to that same group, but “She will be saved..if they..” cannot have she=they=same group because this is improper grammar. This is why I always ask anyone who believes that this is possible to show me a second witness to this kind of grammar. No one yet has shown a valid example, so without a second witness to such a grammatical anomaly (or we could say a grammatical error), we can properly rule it out. This means that we can believe Paul when he said both “she” and “they” in his sentence that “she” may be part of “they”, but “she” is not equal to the plural “they”. Instead we can take him at face value that he meant a single female when he said “she” and he meant more than one person when he said “they”. If anyone wants to dispute this, I am very open to hearing the other side, but that person must provide proof of the particular kind of grammar that they are advocating.
