For whom did Christ die for?
I just received confirmation that Sojourner is a Christian Universalist. I believe that means that Christ’s saving work applies to all sinners, regardless of personal faith in Christ. If I’m incorrect SJ, please correct me.
Many Christians are semi-Pelagius and believe that Christ died for the entire world. However, to apply the work of Christ on the sinners behalf, you have to accept Christ into your heart to be reconciled to God and be saved.
Augustinian Christians believe that Christ died for the elect of God. The work of Christ could have saved the entire world, but it was only intended to save a specific group of sinners
For whom did Christ die for?
1. All humanity will be reconciled to God… unconditionally and without personal faith in Christ. Sojourner will need to help us understand this universal position.
2. Christ died for all, but the only people that will be saved are those who accept Christ into their hearts. This is called unlimited atonement.
3. Christ died for only those specific sinners whom God chose before the foundations of the world, (the elect of God). This is called particular atonement, or limited atonement.
