What does it mean to be a universalist in the reformed soteriological view of salvation? Is God limited in terms of how many people he saves, or is there a God who only saves a limited number of people?

00:00:27.500 everyone limits the atonement the arminian limits the atonement the provisionists which
00:00:34.660 isn't really a thing but they limit the atonement every what i'm saying is every
00:00:40.940 soteriological framework limits the atonement
00:00:46.700 the question is simply how it's not whether but in which way does your soteriology that word
00:00:57.020 simply means a study of salvation, doctrine of salvation. So your view of salvation, your theology
00:01:03.120 about salvation, who God saves, how God saves, what you believe the Bible's teaching espouses
00:01:10.000 on the subject of salvation, no matter what view you hold, you believe that in some form or fashion,
00:01:18.160 in some way, the atonement of Jesus Christ, that is his payment on the cross for sin,
00:01:23.380 it is limited the only person who does not limit the atonement at all is the universalist who
00:01:31.900 believes that christ paid for every person's sin and every single sin of every person and there's
00:01:39.320 a word for universalism it's called heresy and the irony is that the person who doesn't limit
00:01:45.480 the atonement is a person who won't have any atonement and will go to hell for being the
00:01:50.340 heretic that they are. So if we want to be orthodox and hold a view within the Bible 0.99
00:01:57.640 and not blatant heresy, then you must hold a soteriological view, a view of salvation
00:02:05.480 that limits the atonement. So at this point, you're not saying, hey, what I believe the Bible
00:02:11.100 teaches about how God saves, who God saves. I have a choice between if I want to view God's
00:02:16.100 salvation as being limited or unlimited? No. You don't have that choice. The unlimited, that just
00:02:21.280 makes you a heretic. So your choice is not, do I want to think that God's salvation is limited or 0.89
00:02:25.920 not limited? No. Your choice is between, do I want to think that God limits his salvation in this way
00:02:31.240 or that God limits his salvation in another way? Because either way, if it's true, if it's biblical,
00:02:37.720 if it's orthodox, it's going to be limited in some form or fashion. And the simplest way that I can
00:02:44.480 explain it is like this. The reformed view of soteriology that holds to particular redemption
00:02:52.220 or limited atonement. We believe that Christ's atonement is limited in terms of its scope,
00:03:03.100 how many people are covered by his blood the who the who is the limiting factor
00:03:13.120 the arminian and in a different way but pretty much the same thing the provisionist
00:03:19.360 believes that christ atonement is limited not in its width or its breadth its scope
00:03:26.920 how many people it covers they believe it covers everyone but they believe that it's limited not
00:03:33.660 in its scope but in its depth how much sin is covered see we believe in particular redemption
00:03:43.960 limited atonement that christ died for some and i think that we can say as the scripture does in
00:03:50.580 fact explicitly say Christ died for many more than just some many but not all insofar as all
00:03:59.920 would represent universally each and every individual who's ever lived and ever will
00:04:05.000 Christ did not die for all in a universal sense but he did die for many but for those that Christ
00:04:12.240 died for the many he covered in his death every single thing that they would ever need
00:04:20.640 to have eternal reconciliation with god meaning that christ atonement covered all their sins
00:04:28.100 past present and future including the sin of unbelief including the sin of rejecting christ
00:04:34.260 and not only that not only atonement for sin but in christ atonement he also paid for their
00:04:41.540 justification that is being declared by God as righteous for their sanctification that they would
00:04:46.820 grow in the fruit of the spirit and for their glorification that one day this body would come
00:04:51.960 up out of the ground and be new and resurrected with Christ forever what Christ paid for within
00:04:59.840 the reformed soteriological view what Christ paid for is is every single thing that he paid in such
00:05:08.260 a way that every single thing necessary for eternal reconciliation with God would be not
00:05:14.720 just possible, not just available, but guaranteed. See, the Arminian believes that Christ paid.
00:05:23.120 This is the easiest way I can say it. Everyone's limiting the atonement. The Arminian, we'll just
00:05:28.380 call them the non-Calvinist, everybody else. The non-Calvinist believes that Jesus paid for
00:05:34.120 every single person's sin in the sense that he made salvation possible. The non-Calvinist
00:05:44.300 believes that Jesus, through his work at Calvary, that Jesus paid to make salvation possible for
00:05:51.920 all. The Calvinist believes that Jesus paid for actual salvation for many. I'll say that again.
00:05:59.000 The Calvinist believes Jesus paid for full salvation, real salvation, actual salvation for
00:06:05.440 many. The non-Calvinist believes Jesus paid for the possibility of salvation for all.
00:06:12.780 See, both are limiting the atonement.
00:06:29.000 Thank you.
