Re: I don’t think there’s a
No - it’s the other way round! It’s through ontological transformation (faith, repentance, Spirit reception) that an individual is able to participate in “the people”. This was not the case in the OT, but it becomes the case from the NT onwards. The only basis that the NT knows of membership in the people of God is where Jesus is Lord and the Spirit lives. That is an ontological precondition. You don’t obtain that by becoming part of the people.
