Here is the verse of the gulf:

I just didnt see where in this reference Abraham stated that once one was on one side of the gulf, they could ever cross, whether they accepted Christ or not. Do you have another scripture that expounds on the gulf and the inhabitants on the side of Hell being allowed to cross over? Please understand I'm not trying to contradict or correct you. I am only trying to understand what you are saying to the fullest extant that you intended, as well as the full meaning of the verses you referred to.
As far as my take on the OT saints, their faith in God and obedience to His commands are what will be wieghed for or against them, and Christ will speak for those saints as He will speak for us.
