Many are called but few are chosen; preaching the gospel to all implies a genuine offer for all

Responding to Calvinist Arguments for Limited Atonement 00:40:44 – 00:41:47

Mike uses the Great Commission and related teaching to argue against limited atonement's pastoral coherence.

Scripture says many are called but few are chosen (Matt 22:14). We are to preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). Preaching implies a genuine promise: Jesus died for you; if you repent and believe you will be saved. But if Jesus did not actually die for a given person, that promise is false. Limited atonement makes genuine gospel proclamation incoherent.
