To me if my understanding gives way that God may do something contrary to his Word in order to save in this new testament era, then I open a big door for God to change and save Muslims as they are because he chooses to. Either Jesus is the only way, or he is not.
I know you understand what I am trying to say here.
BTW - It is good to see you posting some.

1. Moses entreating God for the Israelites is but one incident. Can you think of others?
2.
Acts 2:38 is the KNOWN way.
3. Muslims who don't know Jesus saved? I think one finds that God's sovereign intervention in the OT was to those that called on Him not Allah.
Thanks for the welcome but I can't stay!
