Jews in the age of grace are saved exactly like Gentiles — by faith alone in the gospel, with no advantage from Jewishness and no works of the Law.
Les Feldick teaches that a Jew today is under no different situation than a Gentile so far as God is concerned; both are alike under sin and need the same salvation (Clip 2). On the spiritual level, the Jew has no special privilege to the Gospel and is just as much in need of saving grace as any Gentile (Clip 3). A Jewish believer does not have to give up his Jewishness, but must separate from the Old Testament economy and Law, which were settled at the cross (Clip 6). God still keeps a Jewish remnant in this predominantly Gentile age (Clip 0).
Romans 10:12 — Paul explicitly states there is no difference between Jew and Greek in salvation — the same Lord is rich to all who call upon Him.
In Romans 10:12 Paul declares: "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him." Romans 3:22-23 adds that the righteousness of God is by faith of Jesus Christ "unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." So Scripture places Jew and Gentile on exactly the same ground before God. In Romans 11:5 Paul writes: "Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace." This shows that even in this present dispensation there are Jewish believers, but they are a remnant chosen by grace. Colossians 2:14 describes what happened to the Law: "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross." The Law that separated Jews from Gentiles was removed at the cross.
Les explains that in this present age of grace, a Jew is saved exactly the same way as a Gentile. Using Romans 10, he says a Jew today is under no different situation than a Gentile so far as God is concerned, and salvation is offered on a level playing field — a Jew does not have an advantage or disadvantage; both are alike, all under sin, and all need salvation (Clip 2). He repeatedly emphasizes that on the spiritual level, the Jew is absolutely no different from a Gentile: he is a sinner in need of saving grace, with no special privilege to the Gospel (Clip 3). At the same time, Les makes clear that a Jew doesn't have to give up his Jewishness, but he must separate himself from the Old Testament economy — since the age of grace has nothing to do with Law, and that was settled at the cross (Clip 6). The age of grace is not associated with the promises given to Israel; it is the unique outpouring of God's grace on the Gentile masses, and Israel is still in spiritual blindness, even though they may be religious in their practice of Old Testament Judaism (Clip 7). Les also points to the remnant: God has always kept a remnant, like the 7,000 in Elijah's day, and in this age of grace, which is predominantly Gentile, there are some Jewish exceptions — a remnant of Jewish believers (Clip 0). He underscores that it is never good works that saves anybody; even the 144,000 were saved by their faith in the message (Clip 5).
Yes. Les teaches that a Jew today is under no different situation than a Gentile so far as God is concerned. Since everything was accomplished at the cross, Paul makes plain that there is no difference. A Jew does not have an advantage over the Gentile, nor is he disadvantaged; both are alike, all under sin, and all in need of salvation (Clip 2). On the spiritual level, the Jew is absolutely no different from a Gentile — he has no special privilege to the Gospel and no better position before God (Clip 3).
No, but he must separate from the Old Testament economy. Les says a Jew doesn't have to give up his Jewishness, but he has to separate himself from all the Old Testament economy, because the whole idea of the age of grace is that we have nothing to do with Law — that was all settled at the cross (Clip 6).
Yes, a remnant. Les points to the doctrine of the remnant, showing that God has always kept a remnant — for example, the 7,000 in Elijah's day who had not bowed to Baal. In this present age of grace, which is predominantly Gentile, there are still Jewish exceptions: a remnant of Jewish believers who respond to the gospel of grace (Clip 0).
No. Les emphasizes that it is never good works that saves anybody. Even the 144,000 in Revelation were not saved by their good deeds but by their faith in the message (Clip 5). Jewish feast days and the Old Testament economy are not the basis of salvation in this age; a Jew must trust the gospel of grace, having nothing to do with Law, because the Law was nailed to the cross (Clip 6).
The Remnant in the Age of Grace
Les shows from the 7,000 in Elijah's day that God has always kept a remnant, and in this age of grace — predominantly Gentile — there are still Jewish exceptions who believe.
Old Testament Faith Plus Works
Les contrasts the Old Testament economy, where salvation was faith plus bringing a sacrifice, with the age of grace where salvation is by faith alone.
No Difference Between Jew and Gentile
Les teaches that a Jew today is under no different situation than a Gentile; salvation is on a level playing field — both are alike under sin and need the same gospel.
Jews Have No Special Privilege
Les states that on the spiritual level a Jew is absolutely no different from a Gentile tonight; he is a sinner in need of saving grace with no special privilege to the Gospel.
Personal Faith Even Under the Covenant
Les explains that even under the covenant promises to Israel, a Jew still needed personal faith — being a descendant of Abraham did not save him.
Good Works Never Save
Les says it is never good works that saves anybody; even the 144,000 were saved by their faith in the message, not by good deeds.
Separating From the Old Testament Economy
Les teaches that while a Jew doesn't have to give up his Jewishness, he must separate from all the Old Testament economy — the age of grace has nothing to do with Law, which was settled at the cross.
Grace Outpouring on the Gentiles
Les explains that the age of grace is not associated with Israel's promises but is the unique outpouring of God's grace on the Gentile masses; Israel has been blind to spiritual truth concerning their Messiah.
Romans 10:12: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
This is the foundational verse showing Jews and Gentiles are saved in the same way.

Describes the removal of the Law at the cross, which frees believers from the Old Testament economy.
