Subject: people who have never heard the Gospel ? |
Bible Note: Dr. Aixen: There is a doctrine called "Universal salvation". Also known as “Universalism”. I do not know which church teaches it, but some people believe it. I looked it up and found the following at GotQuestions.org Question: "Is universalism / universal salvation Biblical?" Answer: Universalism is the belief that everyone will be saved. 1 Corinthians 1:22,23 reads, “For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles.” There are many people today who hold to the viewpoint of “Universal Salvation” - the idea that all men eventually end up in heaven with the Lord. Perhaps it is the thought of men and women living a life of eternal torment in hell that causes some to reject the teaching of scripture on this issue. For some it is their over-emphasis on the love and compassion of Christ that lead them to believe that God will have mercy on every living soul. But the scriptures do teach that some men will spend an eternity in hell, while others an eternity in paradise with the Lord. That is the first part of the article. It says more. So the doctrine exists, but I have never seen it on this forum. |
