Then what works fine? I don't see the issue. Consider the following:

starting with a fresh session

In[1]:=
f[2] = 5; 
f[3] = 8; 
Save["test", f]; 

In[4]:=
!!test

f[2] = 5

f[3] = 8

In[5]:=
Remove[f]; 
f[2]
Out[6]=f[2]

(* showing the definition of f has been removed *)

In[7]:=
<< "test"; 

In[8]:=f[2]
Out[8]=5

In[9]:=f[3]
Out[9]=8

(* showing the definition of f has been restored *)

So what is it you see as not working when there are no semicolons?
