Any universalists on TOL?

[Epoisses]

Not at all a smart guy by any means.

The answer is found in the text.

Salvation is not just of the Jews, but for all men; all nationalities, all tribes.
But only to those who believe is He a Saviour in the "special" sense of appropriation and eternal forgiveness.

That's what I thought.

I don't beat up anyone that doesn't have at least a doctorate in theology. To be quite honest it's just a waste of time.

Universal reconciliation (also called universal salvation, Christian universalism, or in context simply universalism) is the doctrine that all sinful and alienated human souls—because of divine love and mercy—will ultimately be reconciled to God. The doctrine has generally been rejected by Christian religion, which holds to the doctrine of special salvation that only some members of humanity will eventually enter heaven, but it has received support from many prestigious Christian thinkers as well as many groups of Christians.

Unlimited atonement (sometimes called general atonement or universal atonement) is a doctrine in Protestant Christianity that is normally associated with Amyraldians and non-Calvinist Christians. The doctrine states that Jesus died as a propitiation for the benefit of mankind without exception. It is a doctrine distinct from other elements of the Calvinist acronym TULIP and is contrary to the Calvinist doctrine of limited atonement.

Even Wikipedia knows the difference.

Nothing to contribute like how blatantly Lon tried to blend universal reconciliation into universal atonement? Just business as usual for the snakes of the earth.

I hid behind all the big guys and stayed away from the gang members - shower time was awkward. Like one step above prison.

Christ died for the sins of all (the Bible teaches that) but all are not automatically saved (it teaches that too).

I'm glad we think the same.
