Part 1 of 3 Hello James I do not know what you are talking about for as blood atonement. We have received atonement through the blood of Jesus Christ, Romans 5 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, whom we have now received the atonement. Peter declared what it took to be saved. People misunderstand the point of that scripture, like those people who worship snakes they misunderstood what was meant by that scripture. First of all when Jesus made this statement this was to the true believers, not for them to run out and drink poison you do not tempt God like this. The example that is given to best describe what Jesus meant was when Paul shipwrecked on an Island. He was gathering fire wood and the viper came up out of the heat and latched onto his hand. Paul did not go out seeking the viper or snake. The snake jumped up on him. In this instance God protected him, because he did not know. It also was a miracle that opened a door for them to stay three days with the chief of the Island and they laid hands on the sick and they were healed Acts Chapter 28.
