We were "saved" at the cross with Jesus's crucifixion which happened BEFORE the cosmic foundations of the Earth were put in place and we will be saved for all eternity. So....kinda hard to put a timeline on that.
Dispositionally, that is correct, very astute, and critically important to know and understand. What happens within the temporal state has all already been decided.
We, have the distinct disadvantage of living currently in the third dimension...
That is incorrect. If our current state of scientific understanding is correct then we live in 10 or 11 dimensions but conscious experience only four of them........
but that s completely irrelevant because no matter how many dimensions exist they are
all a function of the Creator creating and the result thereof.
English language only uses one of three states of past, present, and future at a time.
We do not and cannot live in the past. We do not and cannot live in the future. We most definitely cannot go back and forth between the three. Temporally speaking, we live in only one dimension.
Language tenses are irrelevant, especially for an eternally existing, externally existing Creator of time. Temporally speaking, there might be a specific point at which the blood of Christ was applied to those saved, being saved, to be saved but even were that the case the temporal does not in any way define the eternal. It, therefore, does not define much if anything pertaining to salvation.
Also Hebrew and Aramaic are verb based....
If you have not already done so, I recommend reading D. A. Carson's "
Exegetical Fallacies," because getting mired in the language is one of the most frequently occurring mistakes Christians make.
As far as the op goes, the saved person's salvation is (not "was") something that is decided in eternity and eternity is not bound by ANY of the structures or limitations of creation. Time is created. Time is a created part of creation created by the Creator and nothing about the Creator - neither His thoughts nor His works - are bound by anything occurring in time (or the passage thereof). Time is simply a measure of cause and effect. Everything God caused/es is done. He's not waiting around for any of it to happen. That would necessarily mean He is subject to that which He creates and that would instantly disqualify Him as an omni-attributed big "G" God. The creatures observe and/or experiences the passage of time, the cause-and-effect of the Uncaused Cause's first cause, but that does not mean what happens in the future for us is not already done eternally, or trans-temporally. This is important because it is God who applies the blood. God's not waiting for time to do what He does. God is not dependent on time to do what He does. The Creator is also not dependent on the creature (which is where the synergistic soteriologies go astray). It is, in fact, reasonable to reverse the order typically considered relevant to the blood and say it is because the blood of Christ is applied in eternity that we perceive ourselves having eventually gotten saved. We did not get saved and then the blood was applied, nor did we start to get saved and somewhere in the ordo salutis the blood was applied. The ordo salutis is merely a logical construct, and it should be understood as such. It is never intended to define God, His knowledge, His will, or His action (and theologians who have viewed that way erred).
