Romans 8:29-32 and the golden chain of redemption used to argue for limited atonement

Responding to Calvinist Arguments for Limited Atonement 00:33:31 – 00:37:06

Mike summarizes the Calvinist use of Romans 8 to support Trinitarian harmony / limited atonement.

Romans 8:29-30 presents a "golden chain": foreknown → predestined → called → justified → glorified. Calvinists argue this is the same exclusive group for whom Christ died (v.32: "gave him up for us all"). The inclusive statement (he died for us) is treated as exclusive (he died for only us). Mike acknowledges a largely Calvinist reading of foreknowledge can be granted while still denying that Romans 8 teaches exclusivity in the atonement.

Judas the Betrayer and the death of Jesus

We have just released part 2 of our video project on the Sovereignty of God. And we have released this part of the project for free! Why? Because I felt that the message was so important that I didn’t want any hindrance I wanted to get as wide a viewing as possible.

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.
