How Were OT Saints Forgiven???

I'll have to look into it more when I have some free time.

*EDIT*
However, on the aforementioned "2 covenant theory", I would adamantly refute that. God doesn't have a different plan of salvation for the jews than for the gentiles. We are saved one way, through repentance, baptism in Jesus name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost, as written in God's Word.

what verses support sins being rolled forward?

Here's a decent comparison I've found between the two views (explains both in general detail along with Scripture references). Found this via a search on Google for 'old testament sins pushed forward'.

Hebrews 10:4 makes it clear that the blood of bulls and goat did not take away sin..I believe that obedience to the law of Moses provided blood covering until the Lamb was slain. HIS blood cleanses us FROM all sin.

Galatians 3:19 "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. JESUS CHRIST WAS THE SEED THAT SHOULD COME. The law was the schoolmaster that would bring us to Christ.
