Winger's interpretation of 2 Cor 5:14: 'all' means all humanity in both occurrences — extent universal, application not
Winger presents his positive interpretation of the passage, arguing both uses of 'all' refer to all humanity.
'All have died' does not mean all are saved. It means the extent of Christ's death is universal — he died for all, so all died representatively. The application (who is actually saved) is a separate question. This is not universalism because the universal extent does not guarantee universal application.
