Summary: multiple scriptures confirm universal extent, non-universal application; rejecting limited atonement does not require leaving Calvinism

Limited Atonement, Universalism and why I disagree with both. 00:29:52 – 00:30:53

Winger wraps up his scriptural case and notes that rejecting limited atonement does not require rejecting Calvinism wholesale.

The consistent pattern across 2 Corinthians 5, Colossians 1, Romans 5, John 1, 1 Timothy 4, and 2 Peter 2 is: universal extent of the atonement, but application only to those who believe. Many Calvinists are four-point (rejecting limited atonement) and one can hold the other four points of TULIP while rejecting limited atonement.

No man left behind: Jesus died for all

Did Jesus’ death leave no man left behind that was not covered by His death on the cross? For many Christians who identify as Calvinists, the gospel includes the conclusion that Jesus died only for a select group of people who were predetermined by God before the world was created.
