Since OT figures dies without Baptism, how did they recieve Heaven after they where freed from limbo of the Fathers by Christ?
 
Baptism wasn’t required until Christ fulfilled the law. Prior to that, the law of Moses, as scripture refers to it, was the prevailing “rule”.
 
Remember in the Apostle’s Creed where we talk about Christ descending into hell? That is when he ransomed the righteous dead.
 
But dont you need to be born again of water to inherit the kingdom?, how where the OT figures purged of their sin orginal and actual?
 
How can you be held to a requirement that didn’t exist until several hundred years after you died? That would be the case with many of the children of Israel.
 
If God determined that the OT figures needed any sort of purging of original sin to be let into Heaven, God would have taken care of that himself just before they entered Heaven, since obviously they had no opportunity to be baptized on earth since Jesus had not yet instituted that sacrament or told them of the requirement.
