To say that Jesus Christ did not justify the ungodly, Romans 4:5 and did not reconcile the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:19 is to say that Jesus is not the savior of the world, John 12:47.
Those who say or believe such things are not Christians. They are frauds and unbelievers in the work and the person of Jesus Christ and are anti-Gospel and anti-Christ.
If Jesus did not atone for our sins and the sins of the whole world 1 John 2:2, then no one is saved and we are all still in our sins. There is no such thing as a partial Gospel. One must believe in the whole Gospel or they believe none of the Gospel.
The Gospel separates the believers from the unbelievers. Don't refer to yourself as a Christian and then declare that Jesus is not the savior of the whole world. You are a fraud and an unbeliever.
Only Christians believe that Jesus has victoriously defeated sin, death and the devil and that he is Lord, Colossians 2:15. Only Christians believe that they are justified by faith alone, because they have been justified by Christ alone. To say that the work of Christ does not justify is to say that you are an unbeliever and a fraud.
Paul said that... "The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes" Romans 1:16.
He didn't say that Calvinism or the Catholic church was the power of God unto salvation. The Gospel is that work that Jesus Christ did in our name and on our behalf that saves and justifies us. It is the power of God unto salvation.
No one will be saved that does not believe and have faith in this work that Christ has done on our behalf. To reject the Gospel is to reject Christ. The Gospel cannot be separated from Christ himself. You cannot say that you believe in Jesus, but you don't believe that he has defeated sin, death and the devil and is the savior of the whole world. To profess such a thing is to profess that you are an unbeliever.
