Where do you get "if you reject Christ..." garbage. Anyone who is in covenant with God - the Hebrew people - are deemed to salvation as each covenant builds upon the last to make it happen.
God is the One who holds all the cards. God is the One who has all the souls. He is the One who has already chosen who will get into His house. Beginning with the Abrahamic Covenant God promised Abraham that his seed "shall be a stranger in a land not theirs (Egypt)" and "shall serve them and who will afflict them for four hundred years" and that nation of Gentiles that does this by Sovereign decree God will judge and will come out with great substance. We learn this occurred as God's will for His covenant people and when they did leave "with great substance" God led His people in the desert and made another covenant with Abraham's seed, a people called the children of Israel (Jacob) in which God gave them His Law and through this Law laid the basis of actual salvation from sin and death and all Israel's enemies who live in the flesh. In time, God told His people that He will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah in which God will forgive this people of their sins and be their God and they will be His people. This New Covenant was founded upon the sacrificial death of His only begotten Son, Yeshua Christos, whom God submitted His own Son in a substitutionary sacrificial offering that became the basis of the New Covenant forgiveness Jeremiah prophesied. There is no "rejecting" or "accepting" God's salvation. It was God who initiated each covenant. It was God who promised and only God can fulfill what was promised through the centuries.
The children of Israel had no say as to whether they "choose" to be in covenant or not for it was never up for a vote. God dictated. God deeded. And then God RE-deemed. Each covenant beginning with Abraham's covenant was a covenant that sought out its recipient, not recipients who sought out a covenant. There is no choice in the matter for God's intervention against Egypt was prophesied centuries earlier and God true to His promises delivered His people - those that are Abraham's seed - that God Himself prophesied He would intervene to deliver out of that strange land not theirs and from those who would afflict them 400 years.
Adam wasn't created perfect. He was created fallen short of God's glory. There is only ONE God; there is NONE like Him; and He gives His glory to NO ONE. Isaiah said this. Adam wasn't "perfect." He was sinful ("missing the mark".) That's why he sinned. Because he was a sinner. If he was perfect, he would not have sinned. If he was sinless, he would not have sinned. The last Adam proved this. He was perfect, He was sinless, He was Holy, and He did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth. Sin doesn't come from perfect, or sinless, or holy. Sin comes from sinner. To believe Adam was perfect (sinless, holy, righteous - without sin), means that sin comes from perfect, from sinlessness, and from holiness. Is that what you believe?
C'mon now, think it through. All great students of God's Word think things through. Imagine Saul if he were to regurgitate what Gamaliel taught him, or what the Pharisees taught him, or what he was taught by Hillel through his rabbinical writings some 200 years earlier? Oh no, Saul gathered his books (scrolls), a copy of the Law and the Prophets and disappeared for 14-17 years and studied under the anointing and the Holy Spirit revealed from the Old Testament the spirit of the Law that everyone else void of the Spirit understood as letter of the Law. Thank goodness Saul was a critical thinker who did what Jesus commanded and asked, searched, and knocked on the doors of truth to come away beautifully with the understandings of the New Covenant from his studies of the Old Testament Hebrew Scripture. We have the same Hebrew Scripture, and God is calling His people to "[put] in thine heart: And [thou] shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates." Deut. 6:6–9.
We are to talk Scripture, eat Scripture, sleep Scripture, breathe Scripture, and walk the walk and talk the talk Scripture every day all our lives. Thank God Saul was willing and committed to finding out the truth, that he threw away those rabbinical theologies, those Pharisaic teachings and hid away with the Scripture, with the Spirit and learned the truth that came out of those very Scriptures.
Have you done that? It doesn't seem like you have. If you did you would know that those in covenant with God did not seek a covenant with God but was told by God, this is the way it's going to be, and you have no choice in the matter!
If a person's name is in the book of life of the lamb slain from [BEFORE] the foundation (creation) of the world then that person will be saved at their appointed time. No one has such power to overrule God's will in the matter. If "you" are in covenant, then you shall be saved. God was the One who scattered His people into Gentile lands. Twice! Do you think they had a choice in the matter? No, they didn't. When the Assyrians came there was no one to stop them. Everyone in Israel proper fled and those that were too stubborn or blind to see, they got taken into exile. And for 29-35 generations the Jews lived in Gentile land. For 700 years the people God scattered had no choice in the matter. There was no "accept Jesus" or "reject Jesus" because in the end God will make everyone willing. "Thy will be done on earth, "what?
As it is in heaven!"
