Those were also all Christians. I am sure you agree that there are many jews who reject christ, even hate him, and that they are going to hell?
No, they were all Torah observant Jews and the New Testament makes that abundantly clear.
EDIT: Acts 15:19-21
19 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21 For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
That's James, the brother of Jesus, issuing the ruling that Gentiles are to begin their walk with Christ in following the Noachide covenant before they fully incorporated the Torah into their lives. The Law of Moses is Torah Moshe or the written law not Torah Talmud the oral law.
Matthew 7:1-5
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
When did Jesus go on unemployment and you take his place?
2 Corinthians 5:10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Jews will be judged according to their sins regardless if they accepted the Messiah or not. Just like the Gentiles that didn't receive the Messiah and live according to the Noachide Covenant from Genesis 9.
Revelation 7 declares that there are 12,000 from each tribe that are set aside with a grand total of 144,000.
Are you saying that God rescinded his three prior covenants to humans when Jesus formed the fourth, the Messianic, covenant? I want a scripture that says that the prior three covenants cease to exist and only the fourth is in operation. I'll give you a hint. It's not there.
